I need to find it again, but if the VESA mounts line up on the iMac and the ACD, i saw a dual VESA mount like pictured below that handle 27" monitors and the weight of an iMac.
Got a tip for us?

Recycled pictures?
Several of these images are identical to the old monitor images on Apple's site, except for the Lion background. Cords, lighting, shadows and so on are EXACTLY the same - almost as if they had been photoshopped. Does Apple photoshop new screen images on existing hardware when a new OS comes out?

We are having a crap ton of issues with Thunderbolt ports being used in conjunction with mini display port to DVI cables.
There has also been issues reported using the Thunderbolt port <-> Mini Display Port with Apple's own Cinema displays. The recently pushed firmware update did nothing to fix sleep/wake issues on some of our displays, nor did it fix some of our LCDs being rendered completely unusable by flickering or tv like static.
If it winds up being the solution that we will have to go out and purchase specific Thunderbolt capable Cinema Displays from Apple, to be able to even have a working setup, I am going to be pissed!
I would like to see a solution to the current problem...

Well then that would mean they are updating the MacBook Pro and Mini Mac box. You won't be able to power a Thunderbolt display without the upgrades. Not exactly rocket science here folks. 
The only thing remotely interesting to me is that the display image shows only two contacts on the MacBook Pro. What, no wired keyboards anymore? Guess the bookkeepers are on their own or stuck using Windows machines.

Why couldn't you daisy-chain in an iMac? The 13 wouldn't have to rely on its internal hardware to drive it.
There will be no MacBook update because the new MacBook Airs will be called simply "MacBook". The white MacBook will be dropped- and, no, I am not somebody with a weird fixation of wishing the white MacBook were dead because I hate what it looks like/ thinks it serves no purpose. In fact, it was my first Mac notebook and I LOVED the MacBook. I still like the design and love the white - however MacBook Airs were not dubbed "the next generation of MacBook" for nothing. Apple loves streamlining product offerings, and this only makes sense. I would also not be surprised if the 13" Pro bites the dust when the Pros are redesigned in 2012. I'm ready for the thumbs down, so shoot, but don't be surprised if this is the case.

Okay, Apple is just teasing us right now

They probably removed it.

Mission Control handles multiple monitors very poorly, inferior to Spaces in Snow Leopard IMHO. Also Lion Full Screen apps are done badly because the full screen app appears on the primary monitor and others go blank (unless the app can make use of the additional space, like Aperture can). So you can't run separate full screen apps on different monitors like you can in Snow Leopard.
I find it the most discouraging aspect of Lion.
These blog posts get more and more boring by the day. yay... a thunderbolt LED monitor!! absolutely no functional difference!
At this point, there have been so many conflicting rumors that I half expect Apple to come out with OS 11 next week.
No, wait for 11.2!
This would be some BS...I bought a 13" 2011 MBP not because of the lower price but because I don't want a big laptop. I would be very upset if it doesn't support this setup even though it has Thunderbolt.
Can you still "Maximize" any app like you currently can, and choose not to use Lion's full Screen mode if I did want an application on each monitor? Or are apps coded to use the new full screen mode not able to be adjusted manually?
