Could this be the new MacBook Pro?

A tipster sent us this image of what appears to be a MacBook Pro with a glossy screen akin to the design of a newer Intel-based iMac.

If accurate, this closely resembles an image that was posted and quickly removed from a Deutsche Telekom site last month. Images of the laptops were posted along with specifications very similar to existing MacBook Pros -- and it's still unclear what will be different about the notebooks under the hood.

While unconfirmed, this could be the first image of the new MacBook Pro due to be released tomorrow at 10 a.m. Pacific time (1 p.m. Eastern).

TUAW will be meta-liveblogging the event live, starting a little before the event is due to begin.

Check this out, we've just had to wait the longest ever for MBP and MB updates ... an amazing 229 days.

Just something interesting I found from looking at similar pictures on other sites. Is there no FireWire port? I saw 2 USBs on the left side where they all usually are, but nothing in the shape of a FireWire port. If the disk slot is on the right side now, where would it be?

Word is that it will be a Firewire 3200 port.

I think this looks pretty accurate. I agree with most, that I wont be happy with a glossy only option. I use matte on my current MBP so I can view true colors for my photography and web development.

According to this photo:
http://www.engadget.com/2008/10/12/macbook-macbook-pro-rumor-roundup/ - the speakers are still there. And if you look thoroughly at the picture, you can actually see them there too. It is just covered in the clear plastic foil, which hides a lot of details. Even the power button is there.

Whatever this is, I am not liking the black & gray styling of this thing one bit. It looks cheap like any other two-tone pc ...

Seriously, they couldn't match the style of the parts they put together? Of course it will come with matching white cables ;)

I miss the days of the Cube where it all matched.

The screen is at the wrong angle to be reflecting the ceiling as it is. No way is this real

I really don't like the MBA keyboard style.
