Time for my tuppence worth on the subject on the 2012 iMac debate
I honestly don't think we'll see retina displays in the iMac until late 2013 at very the earliest, partly because of the size of the displays the iMac have but also that GPU's aren't realistically powerful enough at present to drive that sort of resolution at an acceptable level of performance.
How about the new iMac having a touch screen instead, especially with ML being more iOS like in use? It would certainly be something more in line with the way they are moving and would be a bit of a two fingered salute to Windoze 8 ahead of its release with Apple having both an OS and desktop computer package that delivers a tablet like experience into the desktop market. Heck, they might even make a keyboard and mouse optional extras!
I know I am clutching at straws but with rumours of lamination issues it certainly fits in with something happening display wise plus the technology and screens of that size are already available and to cap it off OSX ML is pretty much designed for that sort of use already....
