Wow, didn't see the new imac coming. this sounds great though. Possibly the new ipod has wireless capability and can be used as a remote for the computer? You could store the videos/pics on the ipod and view them wirelessly on the imac using the ipod as a remote.
Sounds good to me. thats a lot of new toys.
