New 27" iMac - three displays?

[focusonthecloud]

I noticed that the new 27" iMac has two Thunderbolt ports. Does anyone know if you will be able to plug in and use two additional displays with it?

WOW, so I can have an iMac in the middle and a 27" Apple Cinema Display either side for workspace? If so I have a new dream Apple setup 😱

That was my first reaction when seeing the two ports! That would be an amazing setup!

Can anyone verify where it says that two additional displays will work?

The 27-inch iMac includes a second Thunderbolt port for even more expansion possibilities. Connect up to six more devices or a display or two.

This was one major things I was hanging out for personally.

I'm (eventually) wanting to add a Dell U2711 to the iMac and while, if i have my facts straight, I could daisy chain a couple of HDD and the display from one port that would require the display to be at the end which I really didn't want. Thankfully that won't be necessary 🙂

Can't wait to get my hands on my first Mac 😀 really need an upgrade from 6yr old XP box🙁
