that's pretty funny. i suppose they're giving away a free toaster with every mac.
Same price point for the 20" at 1199 is ok with me, since I will be ordering the ultra, which is down to 1799.
I got a strange idea and it seems just like something Apple might do (maybe not).
Maybe they will pack a rechargeable wireless keyboard and mighty mouse standard with the iMac, but with something different. The bottoms of the keyboard and mouse will have little magnets flush with the bottom that act as charging contacts.
The iMac base will have similar magnets on that match those on the keyboard and mouse. Like on the keyboard and mouse, the contacts will be designed to look like part of the unit.
Need to charge? Set the keyboard and mouse on their respective connectors. They magnetically connect and the process starts. A little white indicator light turns on to tell you the charging status of both. If it's night, the ambient light sensor shuts the light off.
So now the main problem with wireless keyboards is now gone. And you don't have any charging station wasting space on your desk or have to mess with extra wires. Charge it right on the iMac.

Oh yeah well i predict that the 'Ultra' model will have a SuperDuperDrive and will be coined the 'Duper' model. And it will be patented and subsequently copied by Japanese companies with names you can't pronounce.
How do you like them iMacs?
I can't wait to see what we are in store for. It's pretty crappy that MacRumors wasn't invited.
well i'm expecting:
imac 17" 20" 24"
imac pro 20" 24" 30"
mac pro go all 8core with 2gigs ram with 500gig hd standard
mini to be geared towards a gaming system
mactablet
iLife & iWork released
oh, and one more thing...
google.mac is free to everyone

New name
Everyone is talking about what is going to come out tomorrow, but no one is bringing up the fact that there might be a name change. All other Apple computers have changed. I think the new iMac will be called simply Mac. It falls in-line with the MacBook, MacBook Pro, Mac Pro, & Mac Mini. What do you think?

Yeah but then people would be like:
"I got a new Mac"
"Yeah? Which one"
"A Mac"
"I know; but which Mac?"
...and so on
I expect no change in name.
Huh? Why u staying up all night? So you can fall asleep 30 minutes before the event and miss the whole thing and then be late to place your order? Seriously. The event is not at 6AM EST but is 1PM EST. No need to stay up all night. Heck, it is 12noon lunch hour for me so I am going to have a nice long lunch hour tomorrow.
I think you're going a little overboard. I do feel the iMac & Mini will see an overhaul, though. I don't know if it will happen but a free Google & .Mac package would be awesome.
I would not be surprised by a change in name, but not to just "Mac". Apple prides itself on its line simplicity and that would be confusing. Too vague.
Copied from another thread - just a data point to show how out of whack Apple prices are for the low end systems....
The second price on the Macs is when you add BTO options to come close to the CPU speed and memory of the $929^H^H^H^H $879 HP.
If Apple doesn't come out with a reasonable Mini-Tower tomorrow, I'm changing my .sig. Actually, if Apple does come out with a Mini-tower tomorrow I'll need to change my sig as well.
