17" MacBook Pro to be Updated "In a Few Months"?
Notably absent from the new MacBook Pro releases yesterday was an refresh of the 17" MacBook Pro. Instead, Apple provided a minor upgrade to the high-end MacBook Pro but with no change in external casing:
AppleInsider says, however, that the 17" MacBook Pro will see a refresh in the next few months to bring it in line with the latest MacBook Pro designs. The next opportunity for Apple to release new machines falls in January 2009 at Macworld San Francisco.
The updated 17-inch MacBook Pro keeps its original aluminum design, and now comes standard with a high resolution 1920 x 1200 LED-backlit display and a larger 320GB hard drive or an optional 128GB solid state drive.
As a result, there had been some uncertainty surrounding the fate of the new 17" MacBook Pro.AppleInsider says, however, that the 17" MacBook Pro will see a refresh in the next few months to bring it in line with the latest MacBook Pro designs.

What a joke. You can't tell me Apple couldn't have released these yesterday.
And the wait continues...

Apple's HD Laptop, it's regular Cinema Display line, the Mac Pro and DVD Studio Pro will ALL be updated once Apple's and Sony's dispute over Apple's refusal to include Kernel-level AACS Blu-Ray protection are resolved.
If the rumors of 10.5.6 including Blu-Ray support are true, this has already happened.

Looks like the glossy trash becomes standard on the 17", but it can be ordered with matte as a no-cost option…

with the recent economic down turn, they might just have a surplus of the current 17 inch form-factor.

That's not quite true. Apple does release new machines at special events or on 'normal tuesdays'. I think it is possible for a 17" MacBook Pro to be introduced with a store update. Especially since it probably won't spot any exciting new features, just the same new case but in a larger size. I don't think Steve would want to say 'Look, everything you already know and love in a 15" MacBook Pro, but with two more inches, and you only had to wait four months for it'.

Here's hoping they'll at least leave FW400 on the 17" model.
Why? I mean, sure, maybe two FW800 ports, but leaving on FW400 would be pointless.

If these wait until MWSF, then there's got to be something bigger than just 17" MBP's in January, doesn't there?
