Yes, Apple is a member (not a founding member) of the Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and on the Board of Directors, but that doesn't dictate if or when Apple would decide to release Blueray in any of its products.
No one knows!
Personally I think apple will try and skip this technology.
As demonstrated with the MBP I think they think the future is in wireless communications, to download software, movies, music etc.
Anyway - I don't think it will come anytime soon.

I agree with you, but I think Apple is stupid to try.
If you have Apple TV, you know it's a product with, well, issues. It's so cute when it tells me a video is in the wrong format but then plays it after a computer and ATV restart. In other words, as slow to load as BD players are, they're a lot more stable than ATV.
I would also point out to Apple that they don't even sell HD movies. Even if they did, you would need an ATV to play them on your $2,000 television, you wouldn't have the best sound, etc.
HD downloads are years, maybe decades, from being "the thing." In the meantime, Apple needs to give us opinionated people our darn BD-ROM drives!
