I'm in the same boat as you - a MBP would provide me some portability AND give me a nice, flexible development platform. Plus, OS X is always a pleasure to use. The only things really holding me back are the price premium and the fact that I don't actually have an iPhone, so it's harder to justify the price premium. If I don't have an iPhone, I'm not as motivated to develop for it. Damn AT&T for making their prices even MORE ludicrously expensive, lol
The montevina's aren't too far off. Apple's current promo of getting a free iPod Touch with any computer purchase ends on July 15. Montevina comes out some time before that (July 12 I think? not sure). Putting two and two together, I think it's safe to bet that the MBP refresh should come out in July. I'm betting that they'll be officially announced within a week of their iPod Touch promo ending.
