Yesh, not a very good idea.
Wouldn't that suck if you got one and then a couple months later a new one came out?
And even if you get a refurbished one after the new ones come out, it will still be better than if you didn't wait.
Got a tip for us?

i just hope the macbooks are still plastic because if there alumium then they will be the same as every other firckin mac yay aluminum no choice, if anything they should have the macbook alumium and plastic (white black) and then they wont be total boring and all the same, what happened to think different?
Praying to the Apple Gods
Please, please, please let these Sept 9th rumors be true. I hoping (dreaming, drooling, praying) that everything gets updated (iPod shuffle, iPod nano, classic, iPod touch, MacBooks, MacBook Pros, iMacs, Mac Minis, Mac Pros, AppleTV and even a secret trick up Steve's sleeve.)
Why don't we throw in the Xbox/Playstation/Wii killer while we're at it?

YES! You're my new best friend!
That's everything I want.
And do you know how happy I would be if Apple made a game system that PWND the Xbox/PS3/Wii?!
I would never be sad again!
I hope for the sake of the two new iMac's in my family in the last month that we don't see updates this 'soon' after the last round.
I bought in October 07 and already a refresh happened. I could have had a 2.8 and 2GB of ram out of the box if I had waited.. ho hum.

Maybe it's "think different" with internal components (custom chipset etc.).
I like those predictions a lot.
Even worse would be if they dropped the prices on the base imac to around the same price as a refurb.
Like my friend got a 60gb ipod video refurb like last august for 249 (299 new) then in early september they announced the 80gb ipod classic and those were 249 for brand new and 20 gb more!! he was so upset
I sold my 16GB touch today for $240. Do you guys think that was a good deal? It was almost out of warranty and I hate having outdated electronics so it was worth it to me.
Not going to happen. To Apple, the iMac is the consumer desktop, with the Mac Pro being the pro (despite the iMac being powerful enough in the high end to be considered pro anyway). Besides, if the 24" iMac of your imagination came into being, it would be either much bigger or more expensive; none of which Apple wants to happen. Just my opinion.
dear god if they remove the optical drive please let it be on a BTO. Some want an optical drive. If I'm out i have my CDs I have no where to insert them then i'm in deep trouble.....
I may be an ass here but if apple does in fact remove all opical drives from their systems and just go the air aprouch with wireless newtork drives or an external $100 one then theres no way i'll go to a mac. I like my things all in one. Its a notebook removiong these features will only add the cost to the cousmer as they need to buy more things just to get a damn CD in the system!

The "pictures" provided display the word Albumes not "Albums"-thinkin I think they are fake...
That's because the language is set to Spanish.
What I don't get is why people want a longer Nano. I would be afraid of breaking something that long. Plus, why would Apple give it a touch screen (I assume; it's got the touch interface) but still include the interface? There will only be one input, not two. I actually don't think Apple will phase out the Classic and the Nano for a while. The Shuffle, maybe. Not sure. Makes a good entry iPod though, so Apple will probably keep it unless they replace it with something at a similar price point and (improved) function.
Of course they are...
If you look on the side of one of the "iPod's" you see the author's name on it.
I'm not getting worked up over update rumors anymore. I guess we've been saturated with them and Apple hasn't made any updates, still.
I'll just stay calm and wait to do damage control after the release.

I agree. But I'm sure a quad core iMac will eventually come out. Probably next year at some point along with faster video cards, chips etc. I would also imagine the ability to add more RAM as well if it's quad core. The 24" iMac right now kicks ass though. I've been very happy with mine.
