Apple Holding New Mac Hardware Updates Until OS X Lion Launches?

no TBolt camera

...updating the cienma display with thunderbolt 720p face time camera?

...with Thunderbolt Ports/FaceTime HD Camera.

Extremely unlikely that it will have a TBolt camera, extremely unlikely.

What is quite possible is that it will have a USB 720p ("HD-lite") camera, and a TBolt->USB3.0/1394/GbE/eSATA multi-function adapter. (maybe 802.11 and bluetooth as well, and perhaps an optical drive if the next laptops drop the optical)

This would turn the display into a nice docking station for a TBolt-enabled laptop. Connect power/TBolt cables to the laptop, and the rest of your peripherals are connected to the monitor.

This is almost a definite based on the 13" MBP.

Come on... PC issues are pretty rare if you know what you're doing -that includes buying from the right hardware vendor...

And you using a Mac? well i know what i'm doing with a PC and they still have issues. They also seem a lot less reliable!

Define "reliability"

And you using a Mac? well i know what i'm doing with a PC and they still have issues. They also seem a lot less reliable!

Is an MBP more reliable than a $300 netbook?

Probably - but is it that Apples are more reliable than Windows systems, or that higher-priced electronics are more reliable the cheapest electronics?
