New iMacs and 10.2.4 Coming...

I've been runing 10.2.4 for over a week now.:)

I have a couple of things on order from the Apple Store and they give a Feb 4 shipping date. So maybe there are things going to happen around then.

I think this is a very good thing. The iMacs, although good as they are, desperately need an update. Don't get me wrong, i have a 17", and couldnt be happier. I would really like to see cheaper prices for the most part; the hard drive in the top of the line is plenty, i dont know how long its gonna take me to fill. a nicer video card would be cool, hopefully a 64 MB one. im glad that there will be no 19". i think that the 17 is a perfect size for the average prosumer such as myself. also, 933 mHz clock speeds would be nice, they havent gotten a speed upgrade for over a year. cheers :)

Darn and I just got my 17" too... oh well...
:(
Well do people really need the 19".
We should have a poll, I mean 17" is really nice but 19" I can imagine would be enormous.

Whatever apple, you baffle me once again.

Someone either knows someone else or got it leaked. BTW, anything new?

That doesn't make any sense. If the new iMacs come preloaded with the four applications making up iLife what other reason would they have to delay it other than software issues? Why would they want to sell the iLife retail package only after the new iMacs have been announced if they already come with them? I don't see why new hardware would delay the release of iLife at all.

Now if iDVD 3 is not ready yet or if iLife requires 10.2.4 then that would delay the new iMacs if they are to come preloaded with it. So clearly the software would be the holdup not the hardware as ThinkSecret suggests.

Also, it doesn't make sense to say they are waiting for new hardware to release iLife (January 31st) and then go on to say that said hardware will be announced later (February 4th). They have it backwards.

10.2.4!!!!

I am still trying to download the rediculusly (is that a word?) sized 10.2.3 update- 50mb is just too large a file when you just have a phone line that drops out after about two hours- what happened to the good old days when they used to do them in 20Mb chunks??? (Remember the 9.2 update- that was a sensible way to do it!) Fine if you have broadband- not good if you don't!

However-new iMac would be very welcome- will it be 1GHz- or more.......? (Falls into dream of 1.2Ghz....)

15" and 17" models will be updated with a few feature upgrades in the 17" model, while the 15" model will remain a "true basic model". No 19" model will be released. Despite a seemingly undramatic upgrade, they are expected to be seen as a good value. [/B]

Details please. Undramatic? Does that mean they won't hit 1Ghz on the high-end or what? What about Airport X and Bluetooth support?

A 19" would be nice, but I think that the 17" is perfect. I love my 17". And I agree, with some of the above posters, that the iMac is due for some updates.

I think they will ad Bluetooth and Airport Extreme, Its almost a necessity now, with my t68i it would help out so much.

As far a proc speed, I see 800mhz - 867mhz - 933mhz. But other specs I don't really know

I have iMovie 3 and iPhoto 2 already...they don't require the 10.2.4 update...now, maybe iDVD does... I don't know...
