well this proves worng all the apple fanboys who said that the g5 was better than anything that intel had well tbh i dont see how intel chips have got 2-3 tmies better since the announcement of the move to intel when the apple site was still proudly displaying that the g5 was much faster than the best intel chips. it looks like apple might have lied to their customers a bit :s

The duo is a new intel chip, no lying required to say that the g5 was faster than intel earlier.

Sweeeeet!!!

All the current software that runs on the current powerpc chips like Adobe, Shake, Final Cut, etc.....will be updated to run on the Intel chip based Macs.

They say you can send in your original cd's with $49.00 and get the updated software for intel chips. :D

"The iMac runs more like a G5 PowerMac" Oh my..

[Rudy]

Whoa, microsoft updates for sync services soon?

Can that mean pocketpc will work with the mac?

[wiles]

[hurricane]

"shipping today" that's BS, when the store will open ti will say something like shipping 1-3 weeks like the mac mini last year :(

[Cyrana]

[jami_welch]

I must say Apple really turned itself around recently. I would say that I really disliked apple computers pre OSX, but now they are growing on me.

[MacOSXMan]

I didn't think the iMac would be the first. And I needed a new computer anyways.

I could have waited another 1.5 months, but oh well.
