iMacs are not pro machines and NAB is not the place for them. [/B]
True, but I just can't see them leaving the bottom-end eMac ahead of the bottom-end iMac at a higher price for very long and NAB is next week. I think bumped iMacs could be announced at NAB because of coincidence of timing, not appropriateness of the venue. And of course, they could just plain come out next week and not be part of NAB at all.
with nab so close? it will be nothing more than an iPod accessory or 2 along with the afore mentioned emac
Think SAN (or NAS or whatever it's called). Those A/V folks love gobs and gobs of fast storage. While most consumer/prosumers don't get jazzed about massive storage, NAB attendees do. Final Cut Pro, DVD Studio Pro, Shake, Soundtrack, an XServe G5 cluster and a rack full of XServe RAIDs providing network storage for a number of PMac workstations. Those're the kinds of products to show off at NAB. iMac? pfft. Maybe for the admin staff.
IF the Rev B delay rumors are true, MAYBE speed bumped PMacs, pro-video folks may be willing to shell out for the improvement - even with WWDC looming. But I don't know if that'd be a long enough production run to make it worth Apple's while.
