Apple Patent: Adjustable Screen Snake Arm
MacObserver notes that Apple has been issued a patent for a "display device with moveable assembly."
MacObserver reposted photos of the display arm from the patent application and resembles the LCD iMac with a (more) adjustable neck.
The patent was filed on November 8, 2001 which predates the release of the LCD iMac. This may simply represent an early prototype design rather than an upcoming product.

That sounds like all kind of cool if they could make it work, but given tehproblems with the imac arm as it is, it sounds like a warranty disaster.

What problems are there with the current arms?

it will probably never come out, the patent was applied for before the current imacs came out.....probably not a big deal

I think its pretty cool. Looks like they had the rest of the imac design done but just had the arm to work out.

Glad that they went with the other one. I like the 17 * 20" iMacs.. just wish they were faster, as we all do.

current arm is fine, just throw in G5 2.0 and 9600xt and ill order 1.
What happened to AMD being the savior of gaming, DHM? A little skittish over the jump, after all? :rolleyes:
You still have yet to address the problems with head dissipation that I brought up some time ago. If the current G4s already push the limit of cooling ability in the enclosure, how will a massively hotter architecture and graphics card fit in there without baking?

Well now I completely get Job's comparison, which baffled me at the time, of the imac to one of the sunflowers in his wife's garden. Maybe Ive talked him out of it at the last minute.... But it does have a weird organic beauty.... I'm just afraid that if I got too close it would spit spores into my face and I wouldn't want to leave the planet....
