I've been planning to purchase an iMac and video iPod using the Back to School promo from Apple- buy an Mac (other than Mini), and get $170 rebate on an iPod.

I was waiting for WWDC in hopes of getting a Core 2 Duo iMac with the promotion.

However, I just noticed that on the promotion FAQ, it says:

Product Family Qualifying Products
iMac iMac 17-inch Intel Core Duo with SuperDrive
iMac 20-inch Intel Core Duo with SuperDrive
iBook 14-inch 1.42GHz PowerPC G4
MacBook 13-inch Intel Core Duo, (White & Black)
MacBook Pro 15.4-inch MacBook Pro Intel Core Duo
17-inch MacBook Pro 2.16 Intel Core Duo
PowerBook 12-inch 1.5GHz PowerPC G4
PowerMac Dual 2.0GHz PowerPC G5
Dual 2.3GHz PowerPC G5
Quad 2.5GHz PowerPC G5

Do you think that if the lineup is updated, the new models will be ineligible for the promotion? And if so, would it be better to buy now and get the discount on the iPod, or wait for WWDC in hopes of an update?
