Leopard awaits. Perhaps announced at NAB?
Those who qualify for an academic (or Government) discount may wish to wait until these prices are known.

(My guess is that I'll wait for OS 10.5.8 or thereabouts.)EDIT: So, I post this and read down one post to see that 10.4.9 is out.

Or will it be like Tiger, that it will run faster anyway?
Not sure if i would Upgrade this ibook with it.... actually i still have to install the 100gb drive but i might just keep that one for the new one also.

Following are Tiger's requirements. No doubt Leopard's will be the same or even a bit more rigorous.
Requirements:
• Macintosh computer with a PowerPC G3, G4 or G5 processor
• Built-in FireWire DVD drive for installation
• 256MB of RAM
• 3GB of available hard disk space (4GB if you install the developer tools)
• Processor upgrade cards are not supported. View a list of compatible hardware Here
• Some features require a compatible Internet service provider; fees may apply.
• Video conferencing with iChat requires a compatible FireWire DV camera or web camera and broadband Internet access. One-to-one video conferencing requires a G5, G4 or 600MHz or faster G3 processor and 100-Kbps or faster broadband access. Initiating a multiway video conference requires a G5 or dual 1GHz or faster G4 processor and 384-Kbps or faster broadband access. Participating in a multiway video conference and initiating a six-person multiway audio conference both require a G5, 1GHz G4 or dual 800MHz or faster G4 processor and 100-Kbps or faster broadband access.
• .Mac sync requires a .Mac account; fees apply.

Ship date is still "Spring 2007" - which could mean anything in the next three months.
You CAN order the new Harry Potter book though (delivery July 21, 2007)

Actually, you can't order it yet - you can only select "Alert me" to have them send you an email when it is available.
I won't be upgrading.

Already done ... the minute the pre-order announcement hit my mailbox.
Come late July I will disappear into my reading chair.
