From the images it seems that Thunderbolt could be first used for video out port and Apple would slowly incorporate more newfangled ports in the upcoming MBPs. We can expect the Apples MacBook Pro to be incorporated with atleast two thunderbolt ports for better convenience. Since Thunderbolt is a rumour, there are many more questions associated with its usability. It would be interesting to note that, what would be the technological outcome of MBP Thunderbolt.
