Also I am starting to warm up to the Display Port. I think Apple is believing it push the standard (think HD camcorders) thus future proofing the MacBook, MacBook Pro. If you read the PDF specs it says it will transfer HD video & sound. Maybe Apple is trying to push HD makers to adopt Display port in place of the older Firewire. I do like the fact that port is small and connects easily. I just feel it is a little to early to exclude firewire.

As far as I know, DisplayPort is one-way -- meaning it could only be used as output, not input -- just as the DVI port on the old PowerBooks/MacBook Pros could only be used to drive an external monitor, not receive input from a camera or other video source. Sheer speculation and guessing on my part, though.

Then that settles it. Are there any camcorders available (or soon to be released) that are known to use DisplayPort for transfer?

in the top 10 things about the new MBP link, they mention it not having firewire. Does the new MB pro really not have a firewire? How would you migrate from an ibook to a MB pro without one? The apple site says it has one firewire 800 port, so whats the fuz with that link? Is my ibooks firewire (400?) not compatible with this one?

The MacBook Pro has a FireWire 800 port. FireWire 800 is backward-compatible with FireWire 400 with an adaptor (found easily with a Google search). The "top 10" link you referenced is about the MacBook, not the MacBook Pro... even though they mention the MacBook Pro several times in the article (and talk about the MacBook Pro's FireWire port, as well).
