I don't see how 2 inches is thinner as I just measured my 20 inch iMac width and it currently measures 1.5 inches. Not that it matters to me but 2 inchs is not thinner in my iBook--)))
Got a tip for us?

No
Any new system will be Santa Rosa, with a 200 MHz clock multiplier. You'll see 2.0, 2.2, 2.4 - not 2.0, 2.16, 2.33,...
The best part, though, is that you'll get a new keyboard with a shift key that works - so that you can type "I" instead of "i" and join the rest of the English-speaking world...

dude -- you have no idea
Man, you want to talk about falling apart. I'm still using my G3 iMac graphite from 2000. Editing video is a real dream. Started looking at the new iMac's in May, then heard an update is coming. I've been waiting and waiting. Permission from the wife is a go. $2,500 burning a hole in my bank account. Now just get the damn 24's out there Apple. Bigger, better, faster, stronger. Come on already. My little G3 is practically smoking and leaking oil just trying to retouch images.
dear god i've been waiting for 4 like a year to switch and now another month??? frick...
my pc is literally falling apart and its defiantly time to switch
24" or 20"?
if i get the 20" i can upgrade the processor to 2.33 and 2gb ram...but the 24" display is crazy cool and i know i will love it...

Well, lazy typing aside, it's a sad truth that most of America can't read or write correctly. That's one thing I envy about Britain and its education system. My dad went through it and his spelling and grammar are leagues ahead of most Americans with a college degree
nah.
That just ain't true. My spilling and grammer is just grate. Your'e rong. Dedd rong.

If you're willing to spend $2500, why don't you get a "low end" MacPro ($2200 plus even less if you can get academic discount) and then buy a non-Apple ie reasonable large LCD?
Even a revamped iMac won't be a MacPro. Then it'll last you as long or longer than the G3!!

The one on the right looks sweet to me! Wonder what the matching keyboard would look like?
this is very good news!!! dad said he will be getting one as soon as they are released!!! bring it
@ phakebill
whos anarchy???

whos anarchy???
thought about it
Yeah, I've thought about going that route. And still might. I just want to see what the new iMac brings. I've been so happy with mine for the last 7 years. There's just something really cool about the self-contained look and feel of iMac. But I may go the MacPro route. Thanks for the thought.

iMacs May All Have 4 Cores While Mac Pros All Get 8 Cores In August
Might even have 8 cores for the same money when they also get revised in August. iMacs may have 4 cores inside as well.
No white?
Is this the end of the white enclosures? Is the iPhone the harbinger of future design for the home line of products?
I don't really get this. If if looks like a cinema display how are the Pro and Home product lines going to be distinguished?
I could see them creating a 6th gen iPod that looks just like the iPhone. So, the iMac would need to look similar. Well, whatever, I'm sure I will like it.

You don't mean who is (who's) anarchy do you? I think you mean whose anarchy. Wow, talk about just three posts ago
You're dad must be tottally awwesome. Il'l bett he kan spel betterr than most Amerikans. Maybe he kan set up a email spel chek servise at home. So coledge kids kan send there papers to him to have him chek them. He kould git rich. And then u inherit it all and buy more Imacs.Well, lazy typing aside, it's a sad truth that most of America can't read or write correctly.

Please. If I had that kind of money, it would be nothing but mbps, iPhones, and Mac Pros with everything on them
Hmm. Who actually cares?
Correct me if i'm wrong. The point of this thread is to discuss the upcoming iMac update? Take a chill pill and maybe your head out of your ass?
Also. I'm Australian, does everyone here know where A-U-S-T-R-A-L-I-A is?
I really like the look of the Black one on the right but it is treading too closely to an HP LCD monitor family that has been out for a while.
Anyone else tired of white, black and aluminum?
As much as I love my current iMac, I really miss the colors of the G3s. While computers need to be powerful, colors make them FUN. I still get comments on my tangerine iBook when I use it in a wireless hotspot. Usually the comments includes something like "I remember these, they're cute" or "I wish Apple still made things like this"
Now I don't know if "cute" comes to mind in what you want for a computer, I just wish that Apple would breathe some life into their (in my opinion) rather dull lineup. Would it be that hard to bring back colors as an option? I mean if they could do that in the 90s, why not now?

Yes, and Queensland is my favourite part. Port Douglas is a fantastic place, and Daintree is like a trip back to an earlier epoch.
yup agreed at least one imac will have 4 cores, i heard some apple emplyee guy say it, not sure if he knew for sure (highly doubt it) but he seemed pretty sure about it. i want one!!
Groan! More dates that keep slipping ever further away. If August passes then it will be wait until September.

I notice your shift key was working for this post
While the point of this post is about the iMac update, the apathy shown by certain posters (not just you) tells us just how lazy some people are when it comes to writing/typing correctly. Believe it or not, but accuracy in language is important; it isn't a matter of being snobby.
Australia is a beautiful country. Your first post was insulting to other Australians, who normally write/type very well. I assumed you were an American because that kind of apathy is seen most in Americans.
Well har in Floriduh we be uh fixin to get them there skools straitened out sos they teach us kids right. DAMN! I thought I lived in a hick state when I was in Kansas. Florida takes the cake for the hickest people prizeWell, lazy typing aside, it's a sad truth that most of America can't read or write correctly.

ON SUBJECT- Get me a new iMac. I sold my wife's 17" iMac G5 thinking new iMacs were around the corner, she's tired of the 12 iBook G4 and she's been heavily eyeing my 20" G5 iSight. It truly was one of the last ones made as I picked it up new weeks after the intel announcement

us aussies haev a very good nature, but will snap at anything that bugs us.. like little mozzies!!! damn those are annoying
Your post made me think: what if Apple wants a yearly update for their desktops? We're getting pretty darn close to a year now. If this is the case, then it would be highly inappropriate.
