iMac. iLike.
August 8, 2007What a beautiful thing it is. That annoying little black square (the camera and mic) that marred the front has gone at last. Still the same classic shape, only refined to within an inch of its life. Brilliant!

I was more than a little afraid that like some other formally respected brands, Apple might use this iMac to suddenly veer off into some wierd new design language. But no, this is the most elegant and elemental Mac ever.
So, where was the One More Thing?
Two hours were set aside for the presentation which only took 75 minutes. If what we saw today was really all there was, then by following the pattern of past presentations, the iMac would have come at the end.
The end (the tablet, married perfectly to the new bluetooth keyboard (which also pairs to the iPhone?)) was left out at the last minute because there wasn’t enough flash memory available in the World to put it into full production.
Kidding aside, I’m really impressed with the new iMac; it’s “evolutionary,” fresh and desirable, but not so desirable that I instantly stop loving my current model.
