Blu-Ray Support at Macworld? Mac Pros Soon?
American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu cites sources who say that Apple will start shipping some of their computers with Blu-ray support as early as Macworld.
Appleinsider also corroborates the report with their own sources, expecting an overhaul to the Mac Pro in the 1st quarter of 2008 with Blu-ray support.
Mac Pro updates have been long overdue with the last major update almost 17 months ago. While some rumors have pegged the Mac Pro update at Macworld, there has been only minimal buzz about it in the final weeks before the expo.

I wonder how much of an impact this will actually make in the "format wars" if it proves to be true.

How many pro users will actually use the new MacPro systems?

I think that will depend how much it costs. If it comes standard then it might play a role. However I don't see it having much affect if it's a $1000 BTO option or something.

Only $1000, I was thinking more along the lines of around $2500+. Given the amount they charge for RAM give Apple credit where credit is due.

Maybe this is a stupid question....
but will the Blu-Ray Support be just a player or will it burn Blu-Ray as well?

Unless it's iPhone related I wouldn't hold my breath on anything else being updated.

Another question-- does "with Blu-ray support" mean that it will ship with a Blu-ray drive or just be able to handle an external Blu-ray drive? Can current Macs handle external next-gen drives?
