Double talk among Apple dealers

In late March, several dealers, who asked not to be identified, said that distributors had informed them Apple would stop selling the 667MHz Power Mac in April. On Friday, the company pulled the model from its online store.

Typically, Apple clears out older models before releasing new ones. More recently, Apple dealers slashed prices on the oldest dual-processor Macs--450MHz and 500MHz models--in yet another sign new models could be coming, analysts say.

"You have to get rid of the old to make room for the new," NPD Intelect analyst Stephen Baker said. "Apple isn´t any different in that respect than anybody else."
