still early yet
Its only 6:10 on the west coast. Apple will most likely want to post a press release. If it isn't announced by 10 am pacific time, it isn't going to happen, at least today.

Apple is on to us, no more big releases at expos,no more big releases on tuesday. guess we will see those new products when they are good and ready. or maybe the 24th.
30 inch dislplay prices
do the math people. there is a 3 inch difference between all of the displays.
17 20 23with roughly a 600$ difference
between each display
700 1300 2000
if 30 inches were a reality i would anticipate a price drop in the whole entire line...
17, 20, 23, 30(23 in. + 3in.+3in.+1in.)
650,1250,1900,3300(1900+600+600+200)

This is not fair 
Why... WHYYYYYYYY!! boehoehoe...
Stil one hour to go before it is 10 am!! Be optimistic!!
There will be new updates! Why? Because we want to!!
Or we will thread Apple.. Maybe that's a solution? "I'll buy a Dell when you do not announce new products today!!!! Do you hear me!! And I was planning to buy 2000 Powermacs!" sigh..

wish list
yes, I'd like a 12" powerbook that isn't crippled, and a lighter Apple LCD..
Remember when apple made computers and wasn't focused completely on music?: SVP Music Bleech!

does anyone know if using a flat screen (plasma) tv with a mac is possible? i assume that the resolution wouldn't be that good, but then all the new ones are ready for high def. has anyone tried it? i'm wondering, because if you're gonna spend 3-4 grand, why not get a 42" monitor!
Because you'd get roughly the resolution of a 15" monitor. BTW, it does work, just plug in the DVI cable.
i was thinking this also what better way to get rid of those LCd's then to have a all new plasma line of monitors that can do computer and tv. and they can have the new Plasma-Imac? can it be done?
I agree, notice it was "upset" not upset, basically meaning if nothing appears in 15 i wont have a fit or be really disapointed. It was page2 afterall
hehe.. yeah.. patience is indeed a virtue.. I expected a Mac update at MWSF, then I expected it today.. now I expect it the 24th, and then I will expecting it feb. 2nd.. And that all in the hope that they announce both new PowerMacs AND displays! Because I'm not going to spend 300 bucks more on the 23" when there can be a new, better, cheaper display later..
I was one of those guys that bought and recieved the last generation TiBook with DVD-R. One month (and not 6 like usual) before they introduced the 17" model wich I would have loved.. I will not make the mistake again ....
I believe that burn-in is far too much of an issue with plasma monitors to even consider using one as a computer display.
Yes at my work i used to have a old g4 power mac and now i have a new g5 powermac. We a 42 inch panasonic plasma display (pretty old (like 1.5 years)) as the second screen (plugged into the DVI port through a DVI to VGA adaptor. The resolution can be put upto anything, its just the refresh rate thats kinda annoying. But to answer your question, yes it can be done.
It can be done but plasma displays have a huge BURN IN problem like old crt monitors. I woudlnt' recommend it.
we know how apple likes those brand new expensive technologies, perhaps new flat screen crt's are heading our way. no more dead pixel problems to deal with except for those portables. And you get Tv now HDTV. could be whats coming.
Re: New Displays Tomorrow?
A 30" would be cool, but a change I would really love to see is THINNER BEZELS on the Apple displays among other things so that they are easier to use in tandem. A better stand system would be nice too.
Apple makes it so convenient to have multihead system -- they essentially encourage it -- and then provides monitors that are among the worst on the market design-wise for that purpose. I'm hoping a monitor design revision makes their monitors multihead friendly.

thoose bezels are to fat i agree 100%. in fact i would like to see those lcds with no bezel on the top and bottom. still a flat Hdtv crt plasma seems cooler and cooler. is gateway selling a model that connects with the computer?
