This comes as a shock to nobody, but Apple discontinued the 15" PowerBook G4s today. They pulled it from their site very quietly some time last night or this morning. I was just marveling at how this hadn't been done yesterday, actually, thinking that it showed lack of support for their fledgeling product line.

Quoth Dan at TUAW:
And regardless of Adobe's recent we-won't-ship-a-Universal-quite-yet announcement, even under Rosetta I imagine Photoshop on the MacBook Pro is faster than on the PowerBook G4.

I'm afraid I'm going to have to disagree with that. Jason O'Grady ran some benchmarks between a PowerBook G4 1.5GHz and a MacBook Pro 2.0GHz using Photoshop and the results don't surprise me too much. It seems that Photoshop's dependency upon Rosetta is causing the MacBook Pro's benchmarks to be almost twice as slow as the PowerBook's. Without universal releases from Adobe soon, Apple may be hard pressed to sell new desktops to graphic designers. Adobe posted an FAQ about mactel-native support, and John Nack posted highlights.
