It's not all about the form factor....
For me the reduced reflection on the screen and the Kepler GPU was enough to leave my aging MacPro behind and switch to an iMacs for graphics and video work.
Can't wait till Wednesday! Just shipped this morning.

Did not pay extra but upon request to customer service the shipping was changed to expedited. Even though it shows as next day it will still take until Monday to receive it since FedEx does not deliver on the weekend. I checked the tracking details this morning and see that even though it left the manufacturer on the 12th (Shanghai time, which would be the 11th in the US) it had to go through some type of import clearance that kept it in China until the 13th (12th here in US) before it left the country. As previously guestimated, it could well now be sitting at the FedEx transfer site located 3 miles from my house getting ready to be put on another plane to the customs release facility thousands of miles away before being flown back -at least that is how UPS ships their items from Apples manufacturer in China. I'm beginning to wonder though if Fed Ex does it differently and that the import clearance referenced on the trackng listing as having taken place in Shanghai may allow the iMac to be held here at the FedEx transfer facility without going on for customs clearance and coming back. This might be a special accomodation that goes with expedited "next day" shipping. Either way should have it in hand Monday morning.

27" iMac
So I called Apple and they put my order on expedite and dropped the price of my super drive and threw in a coupon,all for free...I saw that it changed my shipping dates to a few days earlier,so hopefully that will help me get it ASAP.I guess I will still have to wait and see what REALLY happens...

Mine seems to be doing a world tour lol, so far it's been in china(obviously), Korea, Poland, Germany, and I don't know where it's off to next but apparently it's due Tuesday and is on schedule.

Same here! Dec 13 - Shanghai, China >> Dec 13 - Anchorage, AK, US >> Dec 14 - Louisville, KY, US...
Final destination is Toronto, Canada on Dec 19
I like that the new iMacs are thinner and lighter. I will move mine from room to room several times a day. I also like not having the DVD drive integral since it is rarely used and a simple cheap DVD drive can be plugged in as and when I need it.
I'm not fussed with touchscreen - never used the iPad or iPhone and while I'm sure it will come I think there are higher priorities now. I wouldn't want to pay 100-200USD just ot be able to have touchscreen. I am often eating at my computer so greasy fingers can be a problem anyway.
I'm looking ot buy mine after January 2013. Hopefully any kinks in the process will be worked out by then. I may even have to wait a bit longer which could mean some of the inevitable hardware malfunctions have been sorted too.

I would get an external Blu-Ray external like that you can put in your own bought Blu-Ray drive. Then install a Blu-Ray playing program like Blu-Ray Player. I use this and it works great on my 2008 Mac Pro (running 10.8.2 right now).
Updating the update. Arrived today (12/14) ahead of stated delivery date. Actually just made the truck loading for the morning delivery by arriving at the FedEx airport an hour before the delivery trucks were loading.
Mine coming (Melbourne, Australia) on Monday.
Apple Store said it was due between 20-24th Dec, so it will be a few days early.

Mine seems to have stopped up in Germany, marked as imported...hoping that this is a glitch on ups's part.
This is the exact configuration I'm interested in - can't wait to hear how you like it!
Google and then Check the recent tear-down report. Apparently the support bracket is mounted behind the case in such a manner that complicates, if not makes impossible, VESA compatibility.
From the report:
R.OG also noted that the stand is mounted from the inside so VESA mounts will be a problem with the new device.
You could always get a second monitor to hang on the wall if that is your intent.

Did you order it on November 30th? Anyone here anything who ordered say about Dec 5?
Seems that a number of first day people has parcels on the way. What about people who ordered a few days later?

Arrived and set up.....I didn't seem to realise how big that screen actually is until sitting up to it, could have sworn it didn't look that big when I had seen it(2011 model) in the stores.
