Apple drops Cinema Display prices
If you're going to be buying on of those new Mac Pros, you're going to want to get snazzy monitor to get with it. And who makes the snazziest monitors around? That's right, Apple! Luckily, Apple dropped the prices of their monitors across the board. The 20-inch and 23-inch displays got a price cut of $100 (making them $599 and $899 respectively) while the monster 30-incher sheds 200 bucks for its price to retail for $1799.All of this has me wondering what will be announced on the 15th at NAB.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!

Built-in iSights that watch what you do and interprets gestures combined with multi-touch for up to eight fingers (if you have an 8-core system). The camera will also be able to tell if you need to shave, shower or get a haircut and will integrate with iCal to set appointments and iPhone to call the barber/salon (with text-to-speech).
Also, you can hold a DVD up to the iSight and it will see the data and import it for you.
And you can quote me. I know a guy.

I get that these look very nice, but I can't understand why anyone would spend $300 more (sometimes more with coupons) than each of Dell's comparable offerings. Dell's monitors use the exact same panels as Apple's displays, but every Dell has multiple connection options besides DVI, like VGA, composite video, s-video, and component video. Why pay more for less options. The bigger question is why Apple doesn't include any of these options. I could see myself spending the extra money if it did, but to pay more for looks only at the expense of options seems silly.

Integrated isights are a very lame idea.

Not if Leopard is gonna be big on iChat videoconferencing. Also, by making the cameras USB, the iSights can be nicely integrated into the internal USB hub.

if the refurbs drop by the same amount, those will be great prices.

The refurbished one cost $1499, 100 dollars less than a brand new one (that is if your using an education discount). Pretty lame. I'm holding out for the isight integrated ones (I hope) and the resolution independent ACDs.

Coming soon… Apple will affirm its commitment as an electronics company with the release of an Apple television (HDTV) with integrated Apple TV.

Nnoooooooooo!... I had just bought a 30 incher, should I cry over the lost money or the oncoming update I couldn't foresee? The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune!
