The MacBook Pro 17 inch - available beginning of 2009

According to the latest rumours, Apple encountered problems that prevented them from launching MacBook Pro 17" at the same time as the other machines. These may be related to a problem with the screen and the DVD burner (one wonders about the cause for the second of the specified reasons).
It will be launched as soon as these problems are solved and has, no surprise, a configuration identical to the model 15" high-end (with more Firewire? with Blu-ray?)
At this moment there is talk that it will be marketed at the beginning of 2009.
