Apple loves their signature white cables, so maybe they thought with the keyboards they might as well keep the keys white as well.
Do you reckon they'd look good with black keys and white cable? or even with a black cable?

I'm waiting for the unibody MBPs to match the wireless keyboard. In fact, I think the MBPs would look much better if they did away with the black keys/hinge/bezel and used matching aluminum color.

That's not gonna happen for the simple reason that this whole look seems to be predicated on a universal brand feel. The iPhone's black bezel would have to change and that's not going to happen any time soon.
I wish it would, because I think the black bezel is what lead to the GlareBook Pro. I'd love me some unibody and trackpad and though I prefer the overall look of the older MBPs I will not buy a current generation 15 MBP for the sole reason of the glassy screen alone.

I would love a backlit keyboard, but I would like it to have white keys.
The issue is that when it's light, black keys just don't look right to me. However, when it's dark, the contrast between the white keys and the bright light on the letters might not be enough to make the keys stand out.
Basically, I love the look of the current keyboards and don't want that to change. But I want them backlit, too. Ugh. This is hard. Probably why they haven't done it yet.
