Saw this at MacRumors...it definitely fits here:
Apple is Finally Making a Cheaper Display: What We Know
Not sure what makes them so certain/confident, but I do think it's something that would be nice for all the smaller notebook and Mac mini owners, assuming they're reasonably-price (and, with Apple, that's always a coin-toss, isn't it?).
It seems like, at the very least, Apple would offer a sub-$1,000 24" display to pair nicely with the Mac mini. Seems a shame those buyers shell out for a nice, well-spec'd Mac and then hook it to some who-knows-what third-party display that may or may not provide useful ports or features. And those same people have to buy some third-party webcam too, when it would be nice if they could just have a solid 24" offering from Apple with the camera built in, maybe a few more ports, etc. If Apple can sell such a thing - with a computer attached - for $1,299, then I have to believe yanking out the computer part of it gets them below $1,000.
