Apple chief Steve Jobs unveils new iMac
Apple's chief executive officer Steve Jobs on Tuesday morning unveiled a new iMac constructed from high quality plastic, aluminum, and glass at the company's special event in Cupertino, CA. "We are going to make iMac better," Jobs said from the event stage, explaining that the new system was thought through from a recycling perspective. Apple's newest Macs come in two sizes with 20-inch and 24-inch glossy displays. Both systems make use of Intel Core 2 Duo processors, with the 24-inch model running at up to 2.4GHz. The Macs support up to 4GB of memory and include a faster ATI Radeon graphics card. The new iMacs also support up to 1TB of storage (1,000GB) and feature 802.11n wireless networking capability. Each iMac includes FireWire 800, 400, and USB 2.0 connectivity. The new Mac features a SuperDrive DVD/CD burner, and allows users to add memory by removing just one screw. The latest iMac also ships with a new, thinner keyboard that looks and feels like the company's MacBook keyboard. The new keyboard works via Bluetooth 2.0 and offers dedicated keys to utilize various Mac OS X features like Expose, Dashboard, Dimmer, and media keys. Apple's new iMac begins shipping today, with a 2GHz model offering 250GB of storage for $1,199.

I'm sorry, I've not met ANYONE who likes the glossy screens. They're a glare nightmare.
And the keyboard designed for a non-typist is just lovely too.
I see a future for a company making an anti-glare screen and a decent keyboard for the iMac, if they can do it for a reasonable price.
Not...
This is definitely bad news.
But, I agree, its not good. Because of the mirroring...its an annoyance, but only a minor one. Worse on black screens, not as bad on colorful screens.
I know several people who love their glossy screen MBP or MB machines and the glare on them is almost non existent at most angles -- only at certain angles do they get glare and a small shift of the laptop fixes that.
love the new specs, and how thin it is. but come on..... looks like the old one u have to see it sideways to appriciate it.
before i saw the pics, i was like im so gonna get one. after i seen the pics i dont think ill be getting one anytime soon just not worth it. ( got the 24 already)
hope to see a new Macpro. the min they release one. ( if its worth it )
im hopeing more new stuff come out something that one would saw WOOW look at that.. not hey looks like the old one but a few mods...
