Will these be annouced on 28th at the WWDC this month? I am about to buy a G5 and would rather have a nice DVI HD monitor.

I doubt apple will switch to DVI since they use their own ADC

The 23" is already a HD display but I have seen nothing about the others becoming HD

On Macrumors and thinksecret they seem to think different. I was just asking if anyone heard anything else.

ADC have power supply, USB and probably something like DVI all built into the ADC port :) and they are getting sold with them so I would say that they won't make DVI monitors (thats why theres adaptors)

Also, as most of you know, new products are always less reliable than the older. I just bought a 23" from apple, because I love the design, the size, it's HD, and most of all, they will be tons more reliable...ADC is the way to go....DVI would require you to have a stupid powerbrick, the DVI Cable, and a USB Cable to go to the computer....

Dual 2.2GHz powered by AMD Opteron - *Sends G5 & 8Gb Ram to scrap heap* Yeah! finally switched BACK!
Bluetooth keyboard and mouse suck for DTP and Photoshop! Way too much LAG! and the Lags get longer when the battery become flat. Would be way cooler if apple added a 'powered USB option' for when there are no replacement batteries available. I don;t know about you guys, but i don't keep huge stashes of dry cells around the house...

Hey, how about a recharging system? Like Logitech's MX700 mouse?

i have the bluetooth keyboard..and i dont have a single issue with it at all..the only time i noticed a lag is in messenger..but switchin over to dmsn has solved that problem.

anyone else seen the new about the new 30" cinema displays that are going to be launched soon..with 2 usb porst and 2 firewire ports on the back.....mmmm nice
they say it will look more like the G5 with an alumiun case and smaller sides..so probably like a huge powerbook screen..except High def standard...they also say they wont be using the ADC anymore..probably going to be a new DVI connector..

any one seen pictures of these or have pictures ?????
