Will we ever see Blu-ray on Apple Hardware?

[Brien]

With today's announcement and still no BD support, I'm just going to go out on a limb here and say: no, Apple will never implement Blu-ray on their hardware.

What about you?

PS: Is it just me or does the lack of ExpressCard and a dedicated GPU make the 15" MBP a joke for us professionals?

Pro is just a marketing term.

I don't think Apple is interested in Blue Ray
Quite frankly... neither am I

So, to answer your question... probably not, unless things change dramatically

Woof, Woof - Dawg

To make it worse, they insulted everyone by including an SD card slot. I could think of a couple ways to use an ExpressCard slot, but no reason to ever use SD.

really dont care. im of the opinion that optical media is one it's way out. also they seem to be doing well without it so why change.

With both Microsoft and Apple going the way of downloads, I think the days of disks are numbered! Microsoft and there 1080p movie on demand 'Zune store' and Apple on itunes.

Thats my opinion anyway!

The keynote stated only 1% of users actually use it. Pros will use the 17inch for the matte screen anyways.
