New iMac, FrontRow and PhotoBooth Apps

Apple released a new iMac today.

The new iMac provides the following new features:

- Built in iSight
- FrontRow and PhotoBooth Apps
- $1299 for 17" model with 1.9GHz processor
- $1699 for 20" model with 2.1GHz processor
- includes Mighty Mouse

FrontRow - Dazzle your friends with an elegant full-screen media display. Front Row transforms an evening of home movies or TV shows into a blockbuster Hollywood premiere. Or preview actual Hollywood blockbusters from the Apple.com trailer website. Press 'menu' on the new Apple Remote to let Front Row take center stage with large text, intuitive menus and brilliant graphics. No setup required.

PhotoBooth - turns your iMac into a modern-day arcade photo booth (minus the coin slot). Just pick a special effect like sepia tint, x-ray, bulge or squeeze. And smile. Presto -- instant high-quality photo. Once you have the perfect pic, take advantage of Photo Booth's connections to share it via Mail, save it in iPhoto or use it as your Address Book or iChat buddy picture.
