Hi,
It seems that a new Apple patent arrives just hours before the keynote:
On MacRumors:
Dual Swingarm iMac G5?

Rhapso.

Remember, you can pick the (current G4) iMac up by the arm so it is strong enough to hold almost any size of display.

hehe, so was the "mouse-wheel-patent"... but it turned out to be the new ipod clickwheel...
By the way I think it is possible that the iMac G5 will be more like the current one with a floating screen and separate CPU rather then the rumored CPU behind the screen. But by tomorrow at 5:00 AM EDT (give an hour for the preliminaries) we'll know for sure.
This "ball joint" looks like it could rotate to portrait view.
The two arms are a diversionary tactic.

\ This "new" ball joint looks like it wouldn't offer any significant advantages over the current design. The G4 iMacs display can swivel quite well to accommodate most viewing angles.
Probably an old design for the current offering.

I agree with you about the base.
I believe the real interesting arm part is the "ball joint", not the double arms.
Looks like it could rotate to portrait mode compared to the old design.
imho apple just patented this as one of the designs they worked on for the previous imac.
