Next Apple iMacs with "Striking New Industrial Design"?
Appleinsider claims that the next version of Apple's iMac will showcase "striking new industrial designs aimed at leaving both competitors and onlookers smitten."
The new designs are said to be sleeker and slimmer than the current iMac designs, however, the new looks may only be deployed on the 20" and 24" models, leaving the 17" model's future uncertain.
The rumor site has no solid timeframe for the release of the new iMacs, but our Buyer's Guide suggests the iMac is overdue for an update, with the last update being delivered in September 2006.
This would represent the 4th major iMac design revision since its introduction. (Original, iMac G4, Current)

Works for me, I'm planning on getting a MBP this summer anyways. I don't mind them concentrating on the larger screen versions. The 20, 24" make the 17" look downright diminutive and kind of crappy (relatively) when they sit next to each other in the Apple stores.

I think it would be a mistake to drop the 17", unless they drop the price on the 20". But maybe the 20" and 24" are selling better than I imagine?

They're not dropping the 17", they are just (if the rumor is true) not going to use the new case design on the 17".

How about a touch screen imac, that can detach and be used to sit on the couch to browse the internet, etc. You can take it to the desk when you need to do more serious work.
I would be smitten with that!

i can see apple dropping the 17" like they did the 15" long ago. 20" and 24" imac prices might drop enough to warrant the discontinuation of the 17" model. hopefully, the new designs will really make people wonder, "where did the computer go?"

Does that mean if I want a 17" iMac, I shouldn't be waiting anymore?
If you are waiting for a new case, then yes, buy now.
