(From SF): Steve Jobs has

(From SF): Steve Jobs has unveiled the new iMac - flat panel display, nippy G4 processors and a pretty... um... far out design. It was leaked by Time magazine, and even made a comic strip pre-keynote. When it was all confirmed, in many ways the announcement went much further than expectations. Flat panels are there across the line, the G4s are good news and the prices - including a good value $1799 for a very full-featured top-end version (including CD & DVD-writing superdrive) - are lower than many expected. Design wise, it reminded me a little too much of a kitch desk lamp when it was unveiled on stage. Having had a play with one, it does look better in the flesh. Among the Mac press here, there's nothing but praise for it - but then this is MacWorld, Mac fans' twice-annual love-in, and they could have unveiled the Apple Lisa again to whoops of delight from the assembled masses. I'm still in two minds. What do you think? Blog your comments below...
