I am guessing taht we could still very well see iMacs by the end of the week if not next week tuesday. It will most probably replace the Powermacs on the front page... 
The same for emacs, but the emacs will replace Tiger....YOU CANT TAKE ANY iPods OFF THE FRONT PAGE!!!!!!

my girlfiends dell just bit the dust, and i have her convinced to get herself an iBook when she has the money, but since her family need a new computer they are debating between the iMac and the Mac mini, i told them to go for the iMac because it will last 'em longer, especially if they are updated soon, if they settle on the iMac i hope the updates dont take too much longer!!! come on apple!!

Don't forget the mac mini. Mac mini has been pushed back also, though there is no logical explanation.

The 1-3 day delay on the majority of systems is because of Tiger. They are obviously not going to update every single model they sell at the same time-even the XServes are at 1-3 days. eMac and iMac updates will be available by next week.
EDIT: by the way I am also desperately awaiting the iMac update so I can finally get one.
I was surprised that the 1.8GHz PM is unchanged. Same old graphic cards and superdrive. But maybe it will get dropped completely in a little while. They should have turned the single processor Power Mac into a potential gamers machine since games don't normally support multiple processors. A single processor 2.5GHz with 1.25GHz bus would be decent.
New iMacs next week seems likely to me. I was hoping they would get the Radeon 9600XT but now the plain 9600 seems likely. Having 128MB vram will be nice but the 9600 is not that much better than the current Geforce FX5200 Ultra.

Maybe it's not so crazy. My bet is they're spacing the releases of all the lines evenly between Tiger's release and WWDC.
April 26 amazon rebate ends
April 27 Powermacs
April 29 Tiger
3 weeks later...
May 17 amazon rebate ends
May 18 imacs/emacs/mac minis
3 weeks later...
June 6-10 WWDS
June 6(?) new ibooks/Powerbooks (HD?)
or maybe they'll save ibooks til the end of June
I don't know about a powerbook HD w/ blue ray superdrive while Sony & Toshiba are still trying to settle the issue.
I've just received some 'spam' from <macwarehouse.co.uk> indicating various special offers on the rev.A panel iMac. e.g. the IMAC 17" G5 1.8GHz 256MB/80GB/SuperDrive/BT for UK pounds 927 instead of <www.apple.com/ukstore/> 999 pounds. (That's about US $ 135 rebate)
It does sound a bit like selling the old stock (they claim 11 items available)

Maybe Apple will just wait until WWDC in June before they release the new iMacs/eMacs/iBooks.
That would mean:
1 month after the PowerMac and Tiger launch (a sensible option so as not to release so many products in so short a space of time),
the phasing-out of the low-end 1.8MHz PowerMac to keep the entire Pro range dual-processor, and therefore create some space between the pro and consumer ranges, and
something for Steve to talk about for his Keynote speech!
I predict there will be no new major PowerBook updates until the beginning next year, or at least until the new G5 PowerBook has been perfected. After all - it hasn't been THAT long since the last update.
Don't worry - you can all hang on until then, can't you? I have to...

There's one at my house. Just depends what model you are after
SERIOUSLY THOUGH
We will see em before or alongside Tigris
CompUSA Inventory
I posted this in another topic, but thought it was worth repeating here:
When I went to my local CompUSA for the Tiger opening, they only had 11 17" iMacs on the floor and 2 20" iMacs; the sales guy told me that everything they had was out on the floor (ie. they didn't have 100 iMacs in the back). I don't know much about inventory, but that doesn't seem like much for a store the size of CompUSA. New iMacs soon?

They're not coming...
...at least until the WWDC in June.
Boo-fricken-hoo.
wow, a little much, eh? I think that we'll see them before WWDC - and it looks like this week it might happen...
D
I guess I'm officially wrong on this one. Gotta make a mental note ... don't bet against ThinkSecret ... don't bet ....ftaok said:
