Flat-panel iMacs in Apple's Future?

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the wouldn't-that-be-pretty dept.

WinkyN writes: "A story on Yahoo! is claiming Apple might release a flat-panel iMac for release in early 2002. Analysts for Morgan Stanley who cover Apple say the computer manufacturer has placed orders for component parts to build such a machine (in fact, build about 100,000 of them a month). Perhaps Steve Jobs will announce this at Macworld Expo in January?"

  1. Well, this old rumor is bound to be true someday. by mttlg · · Score: 5, Funny

    This has got to be the most common Apple rumor in recent years. The flat-panel iMac is always predicted at every major MacWorld Expo, and so far it hasn't materialized. Maybe it will this time, but Mac rumors have been so far off in the past that a lot of people don't pay attention to them anymore.

    THey already split the iMacs (and their other products) into around three configurations ("fast", "faster", "fastest" or "good", "better", "best"--I'm sure /.ers love those designations :).

    I expect /. editors will be using "good", "gooder" and "goodest" :)

    Right. They'll announce it between the new Apple PDA and the Disney buyout.

    And then Hitler will build a snowman.
