Will future MacBook 13" models have FireWire... there is a chance for it. When Apple first introduced the MacBook Pros - they dropped Firewire 800 from them vs. the PowerBook G4 15" models which had FW800. The very next model update had FireWire 800 on those 15" MBPs and that was a direct result of user outcry.
It wouldn't be so annoying if they added an ExpressCard port. Even most of the el cheapo PC laptops have such and that at least allows a user to add interface options they'd like... eSATA, performance media reader... FireWire, etc.
The new MacBook moved things so far ahead of the prior model in so many ways, just a bummer to have this one little detail step backwards.
