Will any new LCD's have VGA ports?
If Apple brings a new slew of LCD's, would you think they would include a VGA port?
This is not so much for the millions of PC users who might actually be impressed by the displays and want to connect to their ugly beige boxes, but for millions of Mac users who might want to attach them to our new iMacs and mostly our Apple laptops!!!

<strong>Of course Apple won't. They should because people, including me, would love to hook up an Apple LCD to their laptops. Unfortunately Apple doesn't seem to realize that.</strong><hr></blockquote>
Apple realizes it just fine. They also realize their are not enough of customers like you to justify including the extra expense of an analogue-digital converter in their studio displays.
Sony makes nice LCD monitors, there's a really light and thin one (about 1 cm thick) available with analogue VGA input - go buy one. You will like it.

There's plenty of others who would love to be able to use an Apple display with their portable.

Plenty != enough. Don't forget you also need to power the display. The power supply in the PowerBook is just not enough. It would increase the cost of the whole display just to satisfy the relatively few Powerbook owners (note I said relatively) who would buy it.
It's not like you don't have an option. There are lots of third party LCD displays out there. Not as nice looking, I'll admit, but some are pretty close.

How about a seperate power supply? Doesn't make sense to use the Powerbook/iBook power suplpy.
