The new Power Mac should tie people over and well through the Intel switch.
That is some serious horsepower there, FOUR processing units and 16GBs of RAM. That's well enough power to justify the purchase of a PPC Mac even if the Intel Macs will be here in a year or so.

As for the PowerBooks, well, I guess it's better than nothing. I was really hoping for a CPU boost to at least 2GHz. Oh well, my only guess is that the PowerBooks will be some of the first Apple products to see the new Intel chipset (12" PowerBook most definately.)

My Rev B 1.67GHz 15" is a workhorse with 2GB of DDR. I think it'll hold me over until the new products are released.

Some people have commented no Aperture being a direct assult on Photoshop, which is silly. Perhaps as a preprocessor for RAW images, but not a replacement for Photoshop by any means. They can be used hand-in-hand, but Photoshop will be essential.
