I don't think that the new Macbook Pro with the Retina display has upgradeable 
memory as the chips are soldered to the logic board

I would assume that the Macbook Pro updates announced at wwdc are otherwise 
upgradeable.
I wish I had a need for  new MBP, but my 2011 MBP is running just fine.  I 
think my next buy is a Thinkpad running Win8 for my main windows development.  
It will be a while until I can justify a new Mac dev system.
