Cool Unexpected eMac upgrade?

I've just got the Apple news email and they've upgraded the eMac.
I the (UK) Mac Format magazine, there was an article debating weather the emac would be canned.
Is this a shock to anyone?
New eMac Specs

It's made the eMac look very tempting to me! i'm looking at getting an more powerful mac, perhaps this is it!

Sorry if this is old news. It's the first i've heard of it.

Yeah, it was a very sneaky upgrade that came with the iMac G5 upgrade, so I can understand why not everyone will have noticed. I want an eMac or an iMac. If the eMac was faster, that'd be cool.

Exactly.

If the eMac was boosted to... say... 1.6/1.8/2.0Ghz, I'd buy one instantly.

Honestly, I think the eMac should be canned. The low-end 1.6 iMac could of been left int he lineup to takes its place.
