iMac next likely update?

[mma]

What about New Mighty Mouse?

I wouldn't call it really an update of IMAC : ) but I think there is a chance that we might soon see new "Mighty Mouse". The current one has not be changed for at least 2 years and not only is really a device which can be described as "super ergonomic" but also its white plastic does not anymore fit to aluminum used in other components.

the current iMac is not that new anymore. We're already past the 4 month mark. It's true that it took about a year for the last iMac update, but that 6 or 8 months is closer to the norm. So I think we could see one well before the summer.

You obviously haven't followed Apple very long. There have been several examples of Apple announcing something new at a Macworld, etc. and then stating that it would be available in 2-3 months. The most recent example I can think of (besides the iPhone which you quoted) is the Apple TV. It was announced in the fall of 06, detailed at Macworld 07, and then shipped in March.

I stand corrected. iPhone and AppleTV.

Name a recent pre-release computer announcement regarding an upgrade.

In the past, Apple has announced products that wouldn't be shipping for some time - Power Mac G5, Quad Power Mac, and MacBook Pro. When I bought my G4 iMac, it was announced at Macworld SF '02 but I didn't receive it until March.

I stand corrected. iPhone and AppleTV.

I already named four.

IIRC, the MBP was available to order the day it was announced, it wasn't given a release date.

Detachable iMac. Base is a optical drive/charger/sizable drive/some connections. The screen is multitouch and goes with you wherever, wirelessly connecting when you detach from the base/charger. It has NAND drive,and some few connections for taking it far on the road.

....that's what I theorize will happen on Earth 2 in January.

Here: nothing.

I guess you didn't follow the link I included from Jan 10, 2006 indicating ship date in February.
