I certainly don't think there will be a major revision coming any time soon, probably just a speed bump primarily and maybe USB 2.0. They just did a major revision to the eMac line back in May so it seems too soon for anything very radical. We need new iBooks before new eMacs anyway, those are much longer in the tooth.

Add USB 2, MHz boost, give the bottom model (except for edu) a CD-RW, and drop the price $100. All set!

Is it just me or wouldn't it be economically beneficial for Apple to use the same motherboard configuration in the eMac / iMac. It seems only logical to me that since the iMac has been upgraded with DDR and USB 2 that the eMac should see a similar upgrade. Otherwise Apple is forced to produce and support 2 different motherboard configurations for a longer time period. Just my 2 cents. I've always seen the eMac as just an iMac with a CRT.

It's never too early. Considering recent iMac updates, eMac does not look like a good deal any more. This is particulary true for combo drive model here in Canada.

eMac Combo drive ($1499 CAD)

1GHz
128MB SDRAM
60GB
USB 1.1
No internal Bluetooth option

iMac Combo ($1799 CAD)

1GHz
256MB DDR (CPU not true DDR support but ...)
80GB 7200 RPM
USB 2.0
Internal Bluetooth available

So for $300 CAD (~220 USD) more you get more RAM, bigger HD, USB 2 and LCD screen, not to mention coolness factor.

Looking at US pricing difference is $300 USD (I guess apple.ca updated iMac prices to reflect newer exchange rate of while eMac prices are still stuck in May rates).

I would rather get iMac for $300 more (US or Canadian).

Significance/accuracy of this report uncertain.

Despite being the 1337 developer that I am and just about a month away from finally putting my dual-2GHz G5 on order (damned refinancing takes forever!) ... I'm actually a bit excited by this ...

We've been planning on getting an eMac for the kids at the beginning of next year ... just the lowest-end model for no other reason than that we don't need another CD burner and the speed increase isn't important to us (it will, however, be maxed out in Crucial memory ...) A speed bump or feature bump between now and then would be quite welcome ...

my feeling right now is, unless it has a g5 i dont care.

I wish Apple would hurry up and revise. We're going to buy one as soon as they do. We've been holding off the purchase until then.
