Will Apple update its Cinema Display line with iSights, glossy screen options?

Okay, let’s assume that all the speculation is true and that Apple will unveil new Mac Pros, Intel-based pro desktop replacements for the PowerPC line, during CEO Steve Jobs’ Aug. 7 keynote to kick off the 2006 Worldwide Developer Conference. The question is: will updated Cinema Displays follow?
Now that the MacBook Pro, MacBook and iMacs all have built-in iSights, it makes sense for Apple to revamp its display line and include the same feature. If I buy a pro desktop I’m going to want a display that will let me use Front Row and PhotoBooth, two fun features of the consumer systems and the pro laptop. If Apple doesn’t plan to tweak the Cinema Display line (and I think it will), hopefully Jobs & Company will release a new standalone iSight with enhanced functionality.
If such updated monitors are in the works, it will be interesting to see whether Apple offers them with glossy and non-glossy screen options as it does with the MacBook. Thoughts? Write me at daseller@earthlink.net
