I believe that the Newer Apples will still have USB2-3.

Hey Regg, This came out at the end of 2008... I think the no firewire only applied to the macbook, which apple were not marketing towards professional users, or those likely to have a FW audio interface or FW drives. The macbookpro line continues to sport FW. I can't see them dropping it until something better is established. I saw this as just another aggressive marketing move from apple... If you want a mac laptop, and you want to use Firewire devices, we will squeeze yet more cash out of you... Mr Jobs laughs wickedly all the way to the bank....
