What is the mystery port on the MacBook Pro?

So, today’s case spy shots would reveal a couple of interesting nuggets if they turn out to be the final designs of Tuesday’s MacBooks.  Firstly, the 13 inch-ish case is sans Firewire.  Systems Admins will have to move those Boot images over the network now for all but the Pro models.   More importantly, a new port has been introduced to the side of the Pro model.  You can see it below.  The circle next to it appears on the 13-inch model so it isn’t an eject button (probably IR – strangely on the side). 

Anyone got any idea what it might be?  If so, vote! 

Update: Uh oh, look at the picture at the bottom of this post
