I would love to see them create a dockable system again. I loved the concept behind the Duo, and that form factor - dare I say "paradigm?" - is becoming very popular again.
Are we at a point where we could see the end of the hard drive - spinning platter - iPod? Have SSDs come down in price enough to be viable?
I'm not going to criticize anyone who wants more in the Pro Desktop line. The machines they offer are unbelievably powerful, to me, better than some servers, but I realize that some people want/need more. But consider this: I work with a a guy who does .NET development. He bought a Core i7 27" iMac (no screen issues at all) with 8 GB of RAM so he could run VMWare Fusion and do his dev work on a Mac. He's not the only colleague I know to have bought a Mac and done the same thing. So don't discount the iMac, especially the i7 model.

I guess you've been ironic. Those iMacs are toys for kids, I couldn't use one of those bloody things to do graphics with their infamous yellow screens.
Buy a mac pro? Or if the screen is your only issue with the iMac use an external monitor for manipulating the graphics (anyone you choose) and use the "childrens" screen to look at your mail.
I get the feeling you may be more of a troll than a pro since you do not seem to have put a lot of thought into what it is you need and how to achieve it.
I have that feeling too...
Down the line, we are talking about a $200 iPad. Maybe a large and small format size...maybe...but they all play on the same platform.

Touch screen iMacs
I don't think a touch screen iMac would work. I tried out that HP (I think) touch screen thing, and it's not natural or friendly to use. For very short interactions it's not bad, like using an ATM. But for long use I don't think so. You have to have a remote device or a laptop style device for touch to be effective. Just my opinion.

Works just fine for me, any higher quality would be a waste of bandwidth. Plus the weak link in the chain is probably the actual conf. call itself, not the stream.

Fair enough, but I'd have expected for something they should be so proud of, a little more polish could be in order? I dunno, just me.
Very impressive numbers, though.
These conference calls are still done via POTS where the analysts call into a phone exchange. Thats why it sounds so horrible.
I dont think theyll be moving to Skype or iChat anytime soon.
Assuming you would buy more than 1 or 2 shares, you may as well buy now.
For example, $500 worth of Apple stock is $500 worth of Apple stock whether it gets you 2 shares or 8. If you think it's a good investment, you're only hurting yourself by waiting.
Split the stock!
And where are the pundits that mocked me for saying more than a year ago that Apple would become the BIGGEST IT company in the world? It's happening NOW, geniuses!
Adobe is DEAD. MS is DEAD. Go eat some crow, suckers!
Typed from my wonderful iPad...
WHAT??? No one asked about the leaked iPhone????
Of course not... they are professionals.
WHAT??? No one asked about the leaked iPhone????
Of course not. First off, they would ignore the question or say something like no comment. Second, whichever firm is represented by that caller would most likely never be invited to listen in again. Third, that person would get some sort of letter in their HR file or be canned.
Just my guess, but I can't be too far off.
It would be nice if they invest more money on making better professional desktop computers as they used to, instead of concentrating in devices only.
Yes, they should stop spending money developing all these products that are making them a fortune.
