random iPod and iMac updates

[erova]

well i wasn't quite expecting this:

apple quietly unveiled slightly faster iMacs and new 20 gig and 40 gig versions of the iPod.

but still no powerbooks...

Any word on older model imac price breaks?

Odd, instead of adding a 20 and 40 gig model, they replaced the 15 and 30 gig models.

I guess it's technically cheaper, that you get more capacity for the same price.

As for the older iMacs, I would expect resellers want to get rid of the older ones, Apple will probably ship their stock to them.

When are they gonna introduce audio recording onto the iPod?

as far as recording, i don't think this update was meant to be viewed as a new product release with new features, just an existing upgrade.

and as far as substituting instead of adding the new 20 and 40 gig models, i think apple is just trying to keep their product line in check. personally though i kinda like how it seems to make more fiscal sense that the 20 gig is a hundred dollars more than the 10, whereas yesterday the 15 gig was a hundred bucks more than the 10.
