"personally I was hoping for a 30" iMac ..."
Personally, I was hoping for a 24" iMac with 2TB HD 36GB RAM, backlit LED display, autographed by St Steve, et alii aliorum ...
not what I expected!
Oh ... and then I awoke to find Alice had not gone down the rabbit hole and the Court was just a bunch of playing cards all along.
Expensive macs
Sick of the expensive macs? be friends with a student and get them to use their discount for you!.

I'm writing this on one.
And how pissed off would you be if Apple produced a Quad-core iMac only for you to find out there's no real speed increase . PC users can always run speed tests and benchmark systems to convince themselves they've made the right decision but us Mac users need real results from our technology so we'll happily wait 'til 10.6 is released and have a faster, more productive machine rather than higher figures on a spec sheet.

Only when you have no idea what they are!! Jobs is a twat.
I tried Mac's a few years ago and still have two - both overpriced and both using bootcamp more often than not. A great OS if you don't want to run 99% of available software and when you do find something worth having - you pay twice the price.
Will run them until the die but never again.
Core i7
You can't expect a Core i7 in the iMac. The iMac uses notebook parts and Intel has not released a mobile variant of the i7 but when they do I would think the Core i5 would be the most likely candidate for the iMac, the i7 is more aimed at workstation class machines.
