I have the cash and I am ready to give it to apple....providing they release the darn thing already.
Also waiting for the free/rebate iPod promotion before I commit.
I'm also considering selling my 13" 2011 Pro to purchase a refreshed Air, though I'm not happy I'll have to eat the cost differences. Will have to see...

Oh, almost forgot, please please PLEASE add a HDMI input Apple... really don't want to drop another £100 to add on the PS3 for Blu-Ray playback.

Oh goodness me, I would absolutely love to!
( I dropped all my macs a year ago and went all PC (my 'great experiment') ... that's done now!)

I don't know whether Apple is out of the 16:10 display (30") market or whether the technology/supply wasn't there (spring/summer of 2010). Their 27" 2560x1440 display offers nearly the same resolution (minus 160 pixels of vertical real estate). Dell's rather recent release of the U3011 widescreen IPS display (which also uses an LG panel) indicates that Apple could now release a 30" display. Whether or not they do it is another story.
Dell's 30" is $400-500 more expensive than the 27" variation, although Apple could get back into the market since they focus on the high-end (thus the reason why they don't have a 20-24" model).
Based on the Dell spec. page, the 30" consumes about the same amount of "typical" power and both have a power consumption of 2W in sleep mode. The dimensions are roughly 2"x3"x0.5" bigger (HxWxD) and the 30" weighs about 3 pounds more.
Now, Apple might not see a market for this, but I figure there are quite a number of people willing to purchase a ~$2,500-2,700 high-end iMac with a 30" display. It would also provide some more room for cooling, although not by much.
However, I would put the chance of Apple re-entering the 30" display market at slim, instead offering 16:9 displays for the iMac and Cinema Display.

I'm trying to have a green thumb. Why throw out a good monitor in order to buy an iMac? Apple please build a headless iMac or something else that is mid range.
