Checked the website, it's prepped for shipping, hope it gets sent today!!
This makes me happy for you but sad for me...I've been holding out for iMac updates...

I wasn't expecting an update for iMacs at WWDC. I thought that Mac might get some love in the form of a much needed update to the MacPro. And well.......
I'm tempted to buy an i7 right now but I think......... At this point I don't care how long I have to wait for a product update. I have been burned 3 times purchasing Mac hardware. I bought my PowerbookG4 one month before the Intel Macbook Pros. Similar story with my G5.

I was also hoping for an upgrade to the iMacs. There's still hope for a silent update this week or next I suppose.
Keep hoping
There are several products in need of an update and iMac isn't the first one in that list. I wouldn't bet my money on this nor next week, I'm guessing July-August. MBA and Mac Pro seriously need updates, iMac is still fine (especially the high-end)

Say it ain't so...I know you know your stuff HH but give us a glimmer of hope

The 9400m has to be gotten rid off, once that happens then will see the 320m everywhere.

This is just my opinion, I don't have any insider info
Looking at the past makes it even less possible as the last time there was an update for Mac in June or July which wasn't in WWDC was 2005 when MacBook got updated. iMac has never been updated in June or July. Last few updates have been few months before WWDC (March or April) or few months after (Sep-Nov). Also, last updates have been like 11 months between the updates and 7-8 months between the updates. The last update was 7 months after the update before it so with that logic, we should see new iMacs in September.
Of course, this is just speculation so don't take it too officially. When it's up to Apple, only Steve knows what's happening
Ugh. I'm a big Apple fan - ipad, iphones, macbooks, ibooks, imac, appletv, ipods, etc.
But my hard drive croaked on my 3.5 year old imac. I need a new desktop, but I will not spend that kind of money on a system that old.
As excited as I am about iOS 4 and the new iPhone, I might start agreeing with the general sentiment that Apple is beginning to over-neglect their computer lines.

I really don't think the iMac has been neglected. They were just updated 7 months ago. You could possibly say that about the Mac Pro. It has been over a year since it was updated. I suspect that the wait for a product refresh on the MacPro is coming to an end.
is it safe to say that imac 27 will only have a minor update without no new designs looking to get one this friday
If you get the quad core model, yes. Of course we never know what's coming but currently there aren't faster components available
I'am going for the quad core i7 2.8 with 8 gb of ram just wondering I have been using a PC for most of my life i usually buy new ones about every 3 to 4 years without upgrading, do the macs get outdated much quicker than the pcs do.
I'am currently running a core 2 duo 2.4ghz with 2 gb of ram 320hdd, 256mg video and vista and it runs horrible slow loading times.
Will i see a difference moving to mac I'am not really a game buyer but i defentely want to buy starcraft 2 and diablo 3 will this imac do wonders for me for these games and future productivity.

The top-end iMac is more than fine for you. Many people are still using G3 Macs in here and they are like what, nearly 10 years old. Macs don't get updated so often and they hold their value much better too
thanks for the advice I'am sick of getting new pcs so often and using them as paper weight afterwards I'am not a mac fan boy even though i got a iphone and am looking foward to getting a the new iphone 4 lol.
I always wanted to get a mac but I was put off by office compatibility with pcs and the software.
a few more questions can you add themes to mac such as changing icons, what dvd ripping software would you recommend I'am currently using dvd shrink what is similar for a mac.
and lastly compatibility old games do not run on vista like age of emperiors 3 do macs have the same prob when a new os is released
1. There is Office for Mac which is fully compatible and iWork is very compatible too.
2. You can change some things such as icons but there aren't many themes for current OS X
3. iRip and and MacTheRipper are good
4. Most apps get an update but AOE3 works fine on 10.6
I guess I'm stuck with my current iCrap for the next few months. Can't really afford to get the 27''.
whats your icrap specs?
Here's hoping to a new video card option for the i7. I would love to see that new Apple Trackpad thrown in as a peripheral so I didn't have to use a mouse/trackball at all. (Go read the Peripherals threads for info on it)

I'm planning on buying the 27" imac i7. But I'm holding off my purchase in case of an upgrade. But now the back-to-school action is running and I'm wondering if it's worth waiting for the upgrade (which will probably happen after back-to-school) or just getting the free ipod touch? I've read numerous on this forum that the upgrade for the i7 won't be worth the wait so...
