I'm just hoping that the market responds positively after the sell off today. Had an opportunity to pick up a few more shares and am hopeful that Apple doesn't make me look like a moron as a result.

I think shareholders have nothing to worry about. If even half of the rumors about the 3G iPhone are true, their stock should shoot up as a result.

The experts are torn- I think it best to pull a Harry Truman and go to sleep at 4PM! Pump in the CNBC love at the gym tomorrow at 6am, and take out residual stress/euphoria on the weights

How come the release of Time Capsule is not on that 2008 highlights list?
Good point.

Are the Macbook/ MBP updates expected for Q3, or rumored?
Also, what is the deal with Apple Insider's tablet mac they're so sure about? When will we see that?

Apple doesn't say when it will release updates to machines; the MacRumors Buyer's guide doesn't predict anything in Q3.
You will definitely, without a doubt, see the tablet mac on July 4th. Seriously, no one knows - it's been speculated for years so I wouldn't count on anything. The overall market doesn't really *need* a tablet mac, although a lot of us fanboys would get one anyway.

I thought the new iMacs were due "in a few weeks" for the last couple of months. Now its Q3?
