New iMac!

I really love the new iMac G5! It's even more charming than before. There is the new Front Row, with the simple 6-botton remote control. It's really cool. It really made me want to buy it. Apple has done excellent work with it. The menus are like those on iPod, so they are as easy to use. The remote is incredible, comparing to the remotes of those Media Centre PCs, as Steve Jobs mentioned. Six buttons can do all. No need for 40 buttons. I wonder what those buttons do.
The other new feature is the built-it iSight. I don't know why it has to be black. It's so weird to see a black spot on the beautiful whitee body of iMac. Anyway, the Photo Booth is interesting. Though I don't like to take pictures of myself, I think I would take a lot if I had the iMac. There are many funny effects there. It was so funny when Steve tried them.
This iMac is probably the last one with PowerPC. And then the PowerMac/Book that will be introduced next week in another event will be the last computers with PowerPC. (I wonder what else will be in the event except Power machines, everyone should know about them. But it will be go to have a surprise. There is a suggestion about a product for photos since on the next day, there will be a big photo event.) Next year there will be Intel Macs. I promised myself that I will buy a iBook then :)

vPod?

There are many rumours about a new video iPod that is going to be released in an event next Wednesday. I read an article in AppleInsider about it, and it seems that it is true. But many other people say it will be some faster PowerMacs. I don't know, we will all have to wait for the special event.
