iMac G4 No Longer?

New iMacs at WWDC! I can't wait to see the new Jonathan Ive masterpiece!!



I'm such a geek! :D

good stuff. i don't really care what Mac gets updated with what update - any update is a good one. and a g5 iMac sounds great. unless it costs $3000 or something

I like the sounds of a G5 iMac but at what cost? And...if the design is completely new then that would be something exciting to look forward to.

G5 iMac sounds wonderous, pity my Girlfriend just bought me a suprise iMac G4 for my birthday. The one machine I wouldn't have bought at the moment.

Not that I'm complaining, it's a damn site better than my old G4 533.

Just wish it was a G5 :)

BTW I love the superdrive, wonder if the new iMac will have the duel layer capability?

My credit card is ready :D

Yeah i'm telling you from personal conversation with someone that the imac will involve some sort of industrial grade aluminum almost bulletproof stuff. If not the imac plan to see this stuff in probably the power line but I'm pretty sure he said imac

I would not be the least bit surprised at new iMacs.

There primary complaint is that current iMacs aren't upgradeable for the average user. (Head on over to www.xlr8yourmac.com and I'm sure you can find some pimped out iMacs) I'm predicting a continuation of the flat panel idea, but with components on the back of the screen. Maybe the same sort of neck for the screen, but one that couldn't have as much of a range of motion (due to top-heaviness). This would allow reasonable amounts of room for a PCI-X slot or two, 8 GBs RAM, some sick mad nasty graphics card, etc. This is most likely that "Powermac 8,1" that appeared in 10.3.4.

this is great news. this year's wwdc is going to be awesome.

Well, momentum has been building on this one for a little while now...I am not sure how I feel about this...on one hand I am excited for a G5 iMac, but I wonder if the new PMs will be less than stellar improvements...It is going to make my new computer purchase decision in the fall very difficult...still, enough of being a selfish s.o.b....hardware updates are always good news...how good we shall see in about three weeks...

So, is there any reason one of those little hard drives Toshiba is making couldn't make it into a regular mac? Are the too slow? Didn't I hear about a possible 60GB one? If so, why couldn't they put it into a G% iMac and make it that much smaller, even built into the screen so you could remove the screen to make it portable around the house to connect to TV's for movies, slide shows, web surfing on a large screen, working on a iMovie project on a larger screen? Maybe it is for an iVideo player like ipod, but a DVR? which could hold 20GB of music and 40GB of video recording like a TIVO?

Just getting creative...I am sure there are many reasons why a small Toshiba drive won't/can't make it in an iMac so will wait for the replies to shoot down my ideas.
