New iMacs on Tuesday... New Design?

The word on the streets is that Apple is set to release new updated iMacs on Tuesday, August 7th. Apple sent out an invite to the press for a special "Mac" related If the rumors hold true we will be seeing an all new enclosure to Apple's all-in-one machine. When they moved to Intel processors last year I had expected the change come at that time. However, they ended up keeping the G5 iMac design through the transition.

A lot of sites are "reporting" that a brushed metal enclosure that will be very thin (like that of the current Apple Cinema Display models) will be introduced. It has been almost 3 years since Apple introduced the G5 form-factor at the end of August 2004.

As with all of Apple's announcements, I am expecting something spectacular. Since it has been noted that is is a "Mac" related event I do not expect much time to be spent on the iPhonThe one thing I haven't seen discussed is the possibility of the iMac HD. Something that I think might be very possible is that the iMac will start shipping with High Definition screens as it seems that the industry is moving in that direction. As long as costs can be kept down I can see this happening.

Apple Delay's Leopard until October, Blames iPhone...

Apple today announced that it will be pushing back the release date of the next version of OS X, code named Leopard. Originally slated for a spring release, Apple now says to look for it sometime in October 2007.

Apple Statement
"iPhone has already passed several of its required certification tests and is on schedule to ship in late June as planned. We can’t wait until customers get their hands (and fingers) on it and experience what a revolutionary and magical product it is.

However, iPhone contains the most sophisticated software ever shipped on a mobile device, and finishing it on time has not come without a price — we had to borrow some key software engineering and QA resources from our Mac OS X team, and as a result we will not be able to release Leopard at our Worldwide Developers Conference in early June as planned. While Leopard's features will be complete by then, we cannot deliver the quality release that we and our customers expect from us.

We now plan to show our developers a near final version of Leopard at the conference, give them a beta copy to take home so they can do their final testing, and ship Leopard in October. We think it will be well worth the wait. Life often presents tradeoffs, and in this case we're sure we've made the right ones." [Apr 12, 2007]


Not sure what this delay means for iLife 2007. From what I have heard is that it relies very heavily on Mac OS 10.5's feature set. We may be looking at jumping from 2006 to 2008 and missing 2007 entirely.
