eMac Discontinued?

One thing not mentioned in today's media event was the mysterious disappearance of the eMac from Apple's online stores.

While http://www.apple.com/emac/ still loads, clicking the "buy now" button only leads to the online store's main page, where the eMac is noticeably absent.
Scroll down for further announcements today.

thank god for that! whilst it was a good idea to start with Apple just left it to get old. it would have been too embarrassing to see that alongside an iMac G5, especially when without VAT the iMac is only a few hundred pounds more than that old CRT beast.

it was good. but its good to let it go now. the Mini can take over as the educational one now

I think they're still updating their webpages, I thought the new video ipods would get first page attention (apple.com) but not yet.

That's too bad.


I really think pulling the eMac was a bad idea. $499 with no monitor, keyboard, or mouse to $1299 for an iMac with 160GB hard drive and iSight is a big jump for some people. The eMac was great for people who wanted a simple, Internet appliance with having to buy extra stuff.

Good Riddance...

You got the mini that does as much or more now, get a monitor for $120 and you got something better than the emac now.

Yea, and then you plug in a USB keyboard and USB mouse, and voila....no more USB ports....that is brilliant.
