I found this photo on digg. What do you think fake or real?

I like the G4 iMac most of all... maybe apple will do the same thing again?  God that would be awesome!

Two new iMacs, with 20 and 24 inch screens, and entirely covered in brushed metal (!) plus the previously hinted new keyboard design and a slightly slimmer enclosure. Even more surprising, our source says the iMacs are shipping with a 2.4GHz Intel Penryn chip. Intel's first 45-nm CPU was originally slated to ship at the end of the year, and it's not clear that Apple could get enough parts to actually build these puppies before October, so take this with a grain of salt. The machines might ship with the dual-core Conroe part instead.

Three new Apple Displays at 20, 24, and 32 inches. These are supposed to have an iSight camera built in.

The Mac Pro will get a speed bump as the Xeon/Woodcrest chips are swapped out for Penryn chips, running at a brisk 2.4, 3.0, and 3.33GHZ.

Lastly, the long-expected end of life for the Mac Mini may finally come around as the machine is expected to be dropped

So, not to nag, but does anyone know if touch screens are available in high quality/high resolution at around the same price as conventional LCDs?

Depends on the technology.

I predict that Steve closes down the company and gives the money back to the stockholders.

I'm not new to the Mac scene (a little rusty maybe) but I am new to the product line and must say as I've been planning to purchase a new Mac (first new one since 1995, 4th Mac since 1995... two others I've had have been second hand), the word of new releases has stirred me up big time.  I love the Mini (I was planning on getting THAT one) but everyone thinks it's going to make like T-Rex and that's a bummer.  Seems like everyone thinks the iMac is going to be the champion here in the "el cheap-o" line of Macs.  It almost seems like I can hear a faint cry of celebration from a lot of camps.  Why celebrate the death of a pretty groovy computer, let alone a Mac?  Do you guys really think the Mini is gonna bite it?  The suspense is killing ME!  LOL!  See, I'm on a tight budget with buying a Mac and if I have to shell out $1000+ for a new Mac, I'm just gonna hang it up.  Why must I have a new Mac?  Well, duh, why not?  New is new.  Besides, I've been a slave to the Windblows machine for the past three years.  I need these shackles busted!

 

And I'm really hankerin' for one of those Intel Mac jobs.  Okay, I'm done babbling to myself.

Figures...

Yep, that's it!  That's exactly how I'm feelin' right now.  LOL!  There's a lot of this going on and this and this and this going on.  Do ya feel me? 

Groovy!  Waiting with baited, er, baded, er... you know... that kind of breath.    (Never said I was a spelling bee scholar.  )

I want a black iMac.

iPod->Macbook->?

You mean from Apple? Directly?

I figure that the iMac won't look exactly like the cinema displays... they have to draw some notable differences.  The average person needs to be able to tell - at a glance - which product they're looking at.

I don't want to wait 3 more hours for this.
