something bigger than 17" will be viable, sooner than later.
Whether Apple does it first is debatable.
I think before we see anything larger than 17" we will probably see a"foldable" display. A 15" Wide display is plenty, especially if a thin fold out 10" display was added to it. Spanning is the key as well as lighter and thinner displays. So your main display would be the cinema 15" with a 10" side panel. I think as LCD's become even thinner and lighter while consuming even less energy, something like this will be possible.

interesting...
but in the end something bigger (folding or not) is the next progression.
But I think the next focus maybe on getting these notebooks thinner that the de facto 1" thick barrier...
Toshiba sells a 0.7" "thin" notebook, so maybe this will be one the next industry wide form factor goals.
