iMac with Nehalem processor

[Squidmondo]

When do you think Apple will begin using the Nehalem processor in the iMacs?
The next update or not until 2010?

I'm going to say 2010 given Intel's desire to push the mobile platform at this time.

Unless Apple implements some revolutionary cooling system, there is no chance a desktop Core i7 will make it to the iMac. As for laptop Core i7s, they won't hit the market until late this year ...and given how slow Apple is in adopting newer processors in the iMac (still no quad cores), you may be looking at late 2010 before seeing Core i7 in the iMac.
