"LCD iMacs Confirmed For Macworld SF 2002

While we can't make similar predictions about the PowerPC G5 processor or desktop Mac, Go2Mac sources have assured us that the new LCD iMac (which we have dubbed jMac) will be announced at The Big Dance which runs 08-11 January in San Francisco.
Few details are available at this time, but we do know that a large number of developmental units (DVTs or mules) have be spotted on Apple's Cupertino Campus. A source indicates that Apple is leaning towards making the line entirely LCD-equipped rather than making it more modular with the option of a low-cost CRT monitor. Prototypes have not contained the TiBook's 15.2-inch LCD as predicted, but instead are being tested with several 14 and 15-inch LCDs from Samsung. More on this exciting story as we get it."

I have news from an insider at Apple re: MacWorld
- The new release will not be the G5 (this wont appear until 2nd half 2002, and will appear in a new design of PowerMacs)
- The iMac is being upgraded significantly. Flat panel yes, totally new design. SuperDrive will be an option. DVD-R will also be an option. Major difference is a wireless system (wireless LCD monitor). All will be G4's with a 1.0 GHz system topping the line (1.5 GHz later). G3 is being phased out in 2002, with new iBook (G4) and PowerBook (G5) in 2003.
- iCam, in development with Sony. Bluetooth digital camera."
