In this ninth edition of our weekly series of Mac|Live Podcasts, Roman and Rik discuss the upcoming face-off between Steve and Bill, why the Zune's a dud, and what to expect in the upcoming WWDC announcements, such as:

 

> New MacBook Pros (bet on it)

> New iMacs (with any luck at all)
> New Cinema Displays (it's about time)

> The end of the 17" iMac and the Mac mini (s'long, guys)...

 

...and more, including yet another Aperture competitor, new quad-interface drives, and a $1,500 keyboard that may or may not be real. Listen to it all now in this week's Mac|Live Podcast.
