Its probably referring to HD stands for High Definition so I'd assume that they will release a high resolution display on their iMacs. Sounds like a good idea since 2005 is "the year of high definition".

...but what about the flipping iMac GPU, eh? I've been holding off for 6 months since the initial release, anxiously clicking refresh on the MR and AI RSS feeds and waiting on word of a RevB that doesn't "feature" a graphics card that was low-end two years ago.
I'm not a gamer. I'm not a video or digital editing professional. I'm just a schmoe who doesn't want to buy a computer that's crippled from the outset. Yeah, the GPU may be fine today. It may be fine next year. But in two years' time it'll be even more ridiculous and won't be able to handle the newest graphics advances in, say, 10.5. If I'm paying $2000, I want guaranteed eye-candy for the next 5 years.
