All these new rumors about iMacs being released in June, and still nothing on the Mac Pro. This silence is pointing in only one direction if you ask me.
What rumours are you expecting?
The new
Mac Pro will be exactly the same as the old one with new motherboard (thunderbolt, usb3), new xeon CPUs and updated video cards.
There's no rumoured new screen to speculate about, because it doesn't include one. There's no new case design to speculate about, because it doesn't need one - the "desktop mac form factor" enclosure is a solved problem, there's no problem with the current design - hence re-tooling the factory to build something different "just because" would be stupid.
The only components that will be altered are commodity PC hardware components that any OEM can and does buy in bulk from Intel, etc.
Hence, there's no one in the supply chain who can really speculate, because there's no top secret hardware under development and certainly not floating about outside the factory in field testing, as the Mac Pro is a desktop bound box.
This is the reason you don't see Mac Pro rumours, not because apple has suddenly decided to kill their IOS developers; the boxes aren't portable, to be seen outside, and the enclosure is a solved problem.
edit:
hah. as to the clamshell candy ibook being ugly - compare to a circa 2000 model dell or thinkpad.
