So has anyone noticed that today's Mac Pro announcement has summoned all black items on www.apple.com. I hate to fuel wild speculation, but it does seem as though Apple is favoring the color black these days... the iPhone had an all-black page, including the background... Is there reason to believe that black is the new aqua?

How about "blackqua" ?

It maybe but then again "white" never really said "Aqua" to me.

Umm.. pro hardware (PM, MacPro, PB, MBP) have been black for a while. The non-pro hardware (iMac, mini, MB) is still in white. Similarly, Aperture, FCP-Black, iLife & iWork- White.

black is more classy than white, i think white makes the item less special. black also gives a better contrast and makes the product stand out more IMO

I'm looking and I'm seeing a Mac Pro, iPhone, tv, WWDC, and Adobe CS3. *Bold denotes pro.

iPhone is a toss-up because we don't know how Apple will handle the iPhone line, but I left it out because there has never been an "iPod Pro" even though there have been models with more capabilities than others. Same goes for tv. CS3 isn't even Apple's product so the background could be sky blue for all they cared - but they picked black.

http://www.apple.com/macbook/macbook.html
http://www.apple.com/ilife/
http://www.apple.com/finalcutstudio/

Etc.

i doubt it has anything to do with it...just some flashy marketing gimmick
