15.4 inch PowerBooks?

In a run down of production partners of Apple, Digitimes reports that Compal Electronics will be producing the 17" PowerBook in 2003.

They also indicate that Compal Electronics will be producing a 15.4" PowerBook - distinct from Apple's current 15.2" PowerBook produced by Quanta Computer.

One user wrote the author asking if it was simply a typo, but the response claims that the 15" PowerBook will receive a revision in the "near future".

Digitimes has been the source of much speculation regarding future iMac lines with limited results, but did predict 17" iMacs prior to their introduction. (19" iMacs were also rumored, which has yet to be proven correct)
