wow, i always wonder why people complain when they buy hardware and then apple updates it so soon..i guess now i know..
i bought the middle imac g5 in december, and i still feel like an ass after seeing this update. for the same price, you get a faster processor, bigger hd, more ram, better superdrive, built in AE & BT, and a better video card.
i'm glad apple's keeping up with the times. but i do feel bad for people that bought imacs and emacs at the tiger launch.

This is a wonderful update, they upped the speed, graphics, RAM, hard drive, they are including APX and BT (2.0). They dropped the price on the high end $100. I'm very pleased with you Apple!
Top-end is a bargain I think - £100 off the previos price too, and that didnt have the built-in wireless etc.
Time to see how much I can get for my iMac G4 on eBay I feel!!

I'm very pleased for you. I know you've been waiting on this for a while and it means you'll get a 'new' machine on your desk as well.

A question on the Superdrive. When you select an iMac model it says it is only a DVD+R/DVD+RW, what happened to the DVD-R/DVD-RW? I'm guessing someone just didn't add it in. It doesn't matter that much but it would suck for people who only were able to use DVD-R's on the first G5 iMac but now can only use the DVD+R's.
Edit: In the PR it says it is -RW so I guess I found my own answer.

Cool, now the imac lineup is refreshed!! Now I wonder if I need my 2.0 Powermac!
Good to hear needless to say!

Of course the REAL question now is...
"Will everyone stop bitching about the damn videocard already?"

Lol the Mini's is the families so i don't think they would be impressed!
The main reason would be the better gfx, the FX5200 is awful!
It is either a new 20" or a dual 2.7 with an ATi X800 this August
Just seen that the price includes BTO 2 and Airport! grrr my iMac is worth a lot less :'(

Nice incremental upgrade. Wish you could upgrade the FX5200 in mine for that radeon. That'd be really nice. Oh well not like I didn't know that'd happen no reason to trash my kid just for a better video card, only play world of warcraft.
