Overlooked/forgotten WWDC new hardware announcement
I hate to add another product to the mix of Mac users expectations that can't possibly be met at WWDC, and I know there was threads about this product here before, but I think people are overlooking the fact that Apple will very possibly announce new cincema displays at WWDC. Seen as this is future hardware, that's my prediction. On June 11th I wouldn't be at all surprised to see Apple announcing new cineama displays at WWDC. I think we'll see 24" and 32", yeah that's right, possibly no 20". They'll be thinner, lighter, they'll have a built-in iSight cameras, and who knows they may even have hidden speakers. I doubt however, as some people have said that this will be Apple's television, I personally see Apple making a tele, but I don't think this will be it. I doubt we'll see both new MacBook Pro's and iMac's at WWDC, I think we'll just see new iMac's, I see the new MacBook Pro's coming later.

AARGGGHHHHH!
OK, I'll forgive you, I'm not fluent in Irish.
Oh, and why would screens be unveiled at a developers' conference?

Same reason they were three years ago.

LOL, I'm leaving my stupidity for the world to see, ok I'll admit I had a late one last night, and I have had a few jars, but you know, new displays, that's really the main point here. I truly do know how to spell cinema, honest.
And Krispie, when people in your country can pronounce 'sixth' correctly I learn your language.

LOL! now that was funny. I didn't see that coming.

Out of curiosity, what gives you this impression?

Might be similar to 1, 2, 3, foe.
I do think they might be LED based though.

No big LED displays for a while yet, I'm afraid.
I'm kinda bummed because the upcoming move to LED displays will probably delay the move to higher resolution displays (maybe not). It just seems since LEDs will be more expensive, manufacturers will be less likely to bump the resolution at the same time.
Why no LED's yet (forgive my ignorance)?
Steve Jobs wrote an open letter recently about the "greening of Apple" in which he implied that LED display technology would take a while to ramp up. Small displays would be coming first and by the end of 2008 Apple hoped to eliminate all mercury from all of their displays. I took this to mean only notebooks would get LED displays this year.

Well the new books arrived today, so in a way I was right. The reason I suspected only the iMac's and not both at WWDC was that the iMac's would be a bigger announcement, and one Apple would like to do on stage, WWDC being the perfect stage.
Read the last paragraph here, it should shed some light on the subject. The pronunciation 'sikth' it quite common in England, I find it perplexing.

Dang it, after reading that i forgot how I normally say sixth and I'm all messed up lol.

Oh, thanks for that. I did not know that there was more than the "siksth" version, let alone that the other one is common in England.
If the Cinema Displays are not LED I will wait to see the Samsung XL30.
I think Apple can probably swing LED backlighting in the Cinema Displays this year, because that's the way the LCD TV industry is headed--and because Apple no doubt does less volume in those than in, say, the panels integrated with iMacs. Time will tell.
Oh, and "sicks-th."
