New MacBook Pro

[vsmith1]

Worrying aspects make this a definite watch and wait:

1 No FW800 and this is a "pro" macBook?
2 No S-Video
3 No PC Card slot replaced by the extremely rare CardExpress
4 The Cardexpress std has two sizes 3/4 and 5/4 and 3/4 cards will go in a 5/4 slot - guess which size Apple have?
5 The audio in/out seem to be both analogue and SP/DIF?

I'd wait and see which audio company have
a) their software out in Universal Binary form
b0 their hardware supporting CardExpress - Echo anybody?
c) what they'll say about the absence of FW800

Makes me worried what will happen to the iBook. Nice to see GE - maybe we'll all go mLAN?
