that's my guess, too. nothing huge, but slightly modified form factor, with a 19" thrown in between. it would have the same number of pixels as the 21" now, and the 21" would be discontinued... leaving the 15" (maybe), the 17", the 19", and the 23".
i would also not be surprised to see the 15" dropped altogether. they're nice and all, but if you're shelling out this much $$$, why not get a 17", and i think that's what most people are thinking nowadays.
Screed ...wider is better

Apple has launched a new Power Mac G4/Xserve and Display promotion, offering US$200 off the 17-inch Studio Display or 22-inch Cinema, or $500 off the 23-inch Cinema HD Display when purchased alongside a new Power Mac G4, Power Mac G4 Server, or Xserve. Customers can take advantage of the promotion to purchase as many displays as they like -- for example, five 17-inch displays can be purchased alongside a single Power Mac G4 system for a total rebate of $1,000. The offer is available through October 31.
WOW! so if you want to say, outfit your entire studio with flat-panels, then all you have to do is buy ONE G4 to get savings on ALL of the monitors.
this has GOT to be a flat panel display clearance sale now.

This could be a "stepping-stone" release. How much MoBo change would be necessary to support a true DDR implementation to the processor? Perhaps the new Northbridge system controller chip already supports it - so all they have to do is plug in the new IBM chip and away we go...
Given the limitations of the processors (Motorola), I think this is an excellent release. I don't really need a new computer at the moment, so I can wait. I will definitely buy a next-gen chip with real DDR, however.
So don't get your hopes fixed too firmly on October 1st for an announcement.
