Funnily enough, I just clicked on the store to buy an Air. Could this be a last minute spanner in the works?? 
I think updating their desktop lines every 2 years is the right thing to do.
That's 730 days. In between... they should "spec bump" every year.
Then for every new design... take $500 off the price of the 2 year old machine and $250 off the price of a 1 year old machine.
That, imo, would be fair to everyone involved and would simultaneously appease their fan base/customers as well as help themselves financially by selling their older products.

This would be great, but I don't see them doing it... ;(
The thing about these delays is not so much the lost clients and frustrated users, but the lack of faith in the future of that particular machine.
No one wants to invest and be used to something that will be forcibly "removed" in the future. And without any prior warning.
This is it.I won't invest my money with Apple so..unreliable about giving respect to my money,i will invest my money differently..in a company which give me the sensation i won't lose any support next year because my machine its off their plans,but Apple doesn't care,because Apple is not so smart as it was before to lose the fear to go to the bankrupt.
Sadly the Apple fable has ended because we trusted it.Great lesson.
Are you kidding, every two years. Technology is advancing every six months or less. Every company has to produce a certain number of machines on some schedule, so why not equip it with the latest technology available.
I suspect Apple is coming out with a completely redesigned IMAC. That's the only explanation that would explain the delay.
I agree and after this Cook/Forstall will resign but only after having devasted Apple.Sad but true.A different company knowing how many users are waiting for their desktops would have done simple just giving a stupid simple spec bump in a sec,not hanging users to stupid lamination excuses or just silence.The other competitors are not beleving their eyes but are not saying nothing because its too beauty to see Apple so idiot axing on their own.

Quad core..don't think its possible to be seen by Apple,maybe using A10 Amd Apu..
(sigh) perhaps you'd like to count the number of active users on this forum who are waiting for a new iMac. Multiply that by 10 or a hundred or greater and it still won't be that large a number. I suspect most people who want an iMac are going out and buying one if they can.
and lamination problems is just another rumour. Apple have never used it as an excuse. And, as for silence, do you know Dell's roadmap? I've checked and can't see anything on their website. What about HP? Apple is not the only company out there that's cautious about publishing release dates.
I don't know if it's your intention, but you are starting to sound about ten years old right now

Any way you paint it, not doing anything their (former) stalwart for 2 years is too much.
If they don't care about the iMac and only think about selling iPhones and iPads, they should clearly state it.
Leaving clients in the dark (that IS what Apple is doing daily, not just over the iMac) is a major disrespect, even if they are "just a few hundred".
The difference here is that top-of-the line Dell or HP computers have most current components.
What do you need their roadmaps for? Check Intel's instead
