That and from what I been hearing the magnetic spot on the right side where the remote goes.
A coffee machine
A dish washer
A hybrid-engine
A 30" HD Display
A 10 mega-pixel iSight
The ability to transform
... I could go on all day, ever thought about not complaining?

I'm not complaining, just not buying...
How long do you guys think Apple will leave HD optical drive in absence?
Until Leopard?
Why O why does a consumer (we're still talking about the iMac, right?) machine need anything more than a DVD drive at the moment?
Neither HD formats are even in the main stream for Home Entertainment Systems yet. They'd stick one in, and people would complain it'd be the wrong one... oh, and then they'd complain about the price...
You're forgetting that there's no such thing as Pro and Consumer machines any more, apparently...
what good would a 22" display do? it would likely have the same resolution of the 20" model, so you wouldn't see any added screen real estate. they already have the 24" model for higher resolutions, so a 22" would belong where exactly?
you're going to have to wait a lot longer than that. one side has to emerge a true victor and more people really have to buy into it. dvd is still king (for the moment).

Of course I forgot that every 16 year old needs a MacPro, for all that MySpace.
(Saying that, MySpace is a bit of a system hog
stupid horrible P.O.S. website)Must be lacking somewhere else...

There are a lot of ads and loads of crap on that site that you need to load lol...
I dare not visit such a website w/ such devastating powers...

Brd & hd-dvd are consumer formats and we all know that Apple is one of the founders of brd consortium. So if Apple chooses any new optical format, it will be brd.
Mac isn't main stream, so it would be logical for them to offer something more. How many times Steve used word "pro" in keynote? And said that "Goal is to make the best PC in the world" and "We can't ship junk".
My understanding is that in Mac's main economic area (USA), there's already millions of HD displays, stb's and players sold.
And when Apple orders million of brd drives, one piece won't be very expensive. And they could offer it as an option.
...Or could it be that Apple tries to deny any new disc formats and relys just on downloadable HD content?
Any word about new iMac's hdcp compliance?
If I buy an external brd drive, can I watch HD movies with new iMac?
Graphics card definitley and more than a gig of ram please? The 2600's are pathetic gaming cards but their Hi-def quality is amazing. This doesnt make sense though, all the hype was about "games coming to mac hurrah we finally did it". Not about hd editing or anything hd! And then they put in a card that can barely run the game. O wait, there is DX10, now im getting it
This is the biggie.
Another 1gb of RAM'll only cost about $50, so it's hardly worthy of complaint.
The card is DX10 capable but it struggles to run through it. Company of Heroes on high settings got about 30 fps with DX9 (which isnt great i know) then they tested it on DX10 and it got 9, as its best.
The transition from CCFL to LED is certainly going slowly... but I think the 24" iMac certainly, alongside the cinema displays, is going to sit this out for a while due solely to its size.
