Hmm... You're right. They should either release them or edit the "October" badge there.

If you don't need to be on the bleeding edge, you can get the old MacBook Pro models at up to 28% off, at least $500 savings.

Refurbished MacBook Pro, 15-inch, 2.0GHz Intel Core Duo
15.4-inch widescreen display (1440x900 resolution)
512MB (single SODIMM) 667MHz DDR2 SDRAM
80GB 5400-rpm Serial ATA hard drive
Slot-load SuperDrive (DVD±RW/CD-RW)
ATI Mobility Radeon X1600 with 128MB GDDR3 memory
Built-in iSight Camera
Front Row and Apple Remote

• Save 28% off the original price
Original price: $1,999.00
Your price: $1,449.00

Or, for the same price(!), you can get a black MacBook with similar specs:
2.0GHz Intel Core Duo
512MB memory
80GB hard drive
SuperDrive

$1,499.00

It's not lost. ... But I didn't actually mean the dash to be important there, rather that they use SATA/S-ATA rather than ATA, which your message could have implied.

For anyone who cares, there is in fact a Cardbus adapter for the new Expresscard format:

http://www.duel-systems.com/products/adapters.aspx

And one for Compact flash:
http://www.dpreview.com/news/0609/06...resscardcf.asp


Expresscard is disappointing to me because the only thing I need to plug in is a P2 card for an HVX200 video camera. The elegance is gone once I have to use an adapter. I wonder how likely it is for Panasonic to go to an Expresscard format for RevB. I'm guessing pretty unlikely.

And the fact that I can't get a 7200 RPM for the 15" (from Apple anyway) is disappointing also. Not to mention the lack of a 256 MB video card for the lower end 15".

They cleverly "cripple" the 15" just enough to tempt you into the 17". Must resist…

skyle: The Intel Xserve came out the same day as the Mac Pro. See http://www.apple.com/xserve/

I think it still has the latest chip, too.

yes, but it still isn't shipping, which is the debate!

:P
