Yeah, tomorrow they should announce some stuff. You can keep your eye on www.gizmodo.com for the live blog if you are that interested. They will, no doubt, have a wrap-up of the highlights once its over, hopefully by 2:30 east coast time.

well expect the new ones to have usb 3.0 think i'll hold out for that seeing as a mac is a fair bit of change to drop on a laptop

cant really use the air to DJ with either... only 1 usb.

Can you use Serato through a USB hub? I tried but it did not work...

indeed. Upgrade the pros to include the SSD for instant on, but keep the big hard drives. Or, put more flash memory in there. Give me a TB of flash memory, that would be nice.
