Macbook updates won't come until September 17th...
The current student special of buying a mac(laptop) and getting a FREE or $299 off an ipod touch ends on September 15th...and the Paris Expo starts on September 17th-20th.
Obviously Apple wants to clear out stock of macbooks and macbook pros along with first generation ipod touches....for possible updates at the Paris Expo.
So I agree....updates to the macbook and macbook pro (along with ipod touches) most likely won't come until September 17th.
Can't wait. :-)

Of course I could be wrong too...but if Apple is trying to clear old macbook inventories it won't release new laptops BEFORE the "Free ipod" promotion ends on September 15th. IMHO. :-)
But thats just me. :-P
I guesss we'll find out for sure between now and then.
I want to get a new ipod touch AND a new laptop, so I have a big decision to make.
What about that news story?
Last year, Apple released new iPods on September 5th, new iMacs on August 7th, and new MacBook Pros just before the back-to-school promotion began. The promotion ended on September 16th, and you can still see details on it on the Apple Store website here. I think the promotion is more for clearing iPod stock?they wouldn't have released a new MacBook Pro just before and a new iMac during the promotion otherwise, and after the new iPods were released, the promotion only applied to the older ones (2G iPod nano).
Hmmm.
That changes everything. Could be anytime now. Maybe Apple will still wait until AFTER September 15th or maybe they'll announce it before. Who knows.
Do you think that they'll update the macbook and macbook pros at the same time? I think so.
Also...new ipod touches...any guess when?

You hit the nail on the head here

Apple have to get new MacBook Pros in students hands before the start of term, the current ones just don't cut it. I doubt they are selling that well even with the BtS offer, only the MacBooks probably are. Everyone in the market for a Pro is waiting for Montevina + an actual decent GPU.
