Anyone seen AAPL stock drop today?! Umm...also what about quad-core CPU's, I think that may have been a step in the right direction. This only makes my MBP more valuable to me (thanks Steve!) 
I'm probably going to keep my 2.2MBP as a desktop workstation with my 24" Dell monitor, and get a new MB for travel and school. I'll wait until they get the MBP right.
Perhaps you didn't look deep enough on the Canon site.
The highest rated consumer video cam on the market is the Canon HV30 which still uses DV and Firewire... for speed.
Up from that, the Prosumer cams including the very highly rated XH-A1 also requires Firewire.
Firewire beats USB all day long... and it's an Apple invention. I can't believe that they are not supporting it on the new MacBooks... and dropping some capability on the MB Pro's.

and here more clearly:
Apple also described their formula for introducing "state of the art new products at prices their competitors can't match". They explain that these new products introduce new "technologies and features" (like the iPhone), justifying their initially higher prices. Over time, they expect to take advantage of scale and engineering to drive prices down.

Thats my problem. I dont think they will get it right for another year and even then they will probably be behind the curve. I might just take the plunge and get a MBP later this week.
GOOOOOOOOOD luck for that!!! At least not with Apple Cinema Display anymore! They all will be glossy!!!
Yes, and, for Pete's sake, those mirror screens!? It even appears that the screen's black bezel is high gloss. I was in a store last week and the salesman looked up something on his shiny screen to answer my question, but I could not even read it because of the reflection.
I would define "value" as the ratio between the "happiness" that a customer perceives from the purchase of a product and the price of that particular product. It has little to do with just being "cheap". Obviously, a lot of creative pros are finding the new MBP of less value due to the drop of matte screens. I, as a hobby musician (on the side of my Computer Science studies), find the new MacBook of less value due to the dropped FireWire port. This update seemed to focus on graphics power, which I have little interest in (but I'm sure that there are others who are)
And the displays and cases of the previous MacBook generations prove this fact, right?
i googled portable dark room with calibrated monitor, but apple nor amazon or dell sell these... guess im in abit of a bingle.
That's funny, I'm looking at Canon's site right now, and all three of their consumer DV camcorders have FireWire, with no mention of USB. Our Samsung camcorder is less than a year old, and is FW-only (well, it has USB, but only for transfer of still pictures off the memory card - not video).
ARGH NOOOOO

What I don't care for is going form one button to no buttons at all on the trackpad. Pretty soon operating a mac will be like learning to play an instrument. too intricate. Can you imagine trying to teach someone new to computers (such as your parents) trying to operate this thing. Some things do not need to be revised and worked on, such as a two button track pad found on ALL windows machines. Apple's arrogance or ignorance if you ask me.
Currency has little to do. Much more sales taxes! But hey, don't be upset! You can visit USA (and get new macbook) or get someone sneak in tax free
to UK... But you get free health care all the time!!!!!!!Right which is why their sales are actually growing compared to the market, I'm sure you know more than them.
Sh*theads!!!! in apple!
here is summary what I wanted to tell and was too lazy to write about it:

Right because no Pro is EVER on the go at a client location or outdoor photo shoot. Oh and even in a dark room with no light the iMac is still a mirror with dark/black areas.
it has nothin to do with knowing....
may i put it blunt?
the majority of apple customers are retards and wanna show off nothing else
and guys stop flaming if someone complains about the prices... its just a normal critism
its not that we would doubt ur religion -_-

That is because it is a second glass pane over the actual display pane. The iMac has it and i find it OK, because the screen is high and does not have to be tilted upwards. On a notebook you look down and stare at your ceiling lights, etc.
Could anybody please compare the reflections of the old glossy plastic screens with the new glass ones? The new ones look worse to me...
