iMac 2011 Predictions

You can't argue with the awesomeness of a imac. Its slim sleek design, its 27 inch screen, and its made by apple. So how could you resist it. There is a reason how the imac is Apple's flagship. Combining the computer screen and the computer into one was amazing for its time.But what can we expect from the imac in 2011, here are my predictions. (note: these are just predictions)

How the imac has changed over the years

Release Date: Its always hard to pick out a Apple release date, but I predict that the new imac's will come out between February or April. If you look at how often they are updated, the next update should be somewhere in there. (Macrumors buyer guild helps). But we should expect a update before Lion is released. The imac is Apple's main computer, so they won't let it sit idle for long.

USB 3.0? No, Light Peak? Maybe: It was clear that Steve's Job does not want to support USB 3.0 in a email reply he sent earlier this year. This is most likey to make room for Intel's project, Light Peak. (Which apple supposedly thought of). You can still expect USB 2.0, as many of apple's gagdet's like the ipad and iphone use USB. So apple will not abandon it. But Light Peak could be a promising new technology.

New Design, not likely: Apple gave the imac a face-lift a while ago, so don't expect anything to big to happen to the design, expect for the usual bump in hard drive and processor speed.

Touch Screen?: This rumor has been alive for a long time. But with the release of Lion coming around the conner with ipad features, it could be possible. But I'm not holding my breath. If Apple is going to make media, it will be focusing likey more on its Light Peak Technology then a touch screen computer. 

These are the major changes we can expect to see. But you know Apple can always come out with a complete surprise that we never saw coming. So we will just have to wait and see what the imac 2011 brings us.

Wouldn't it be cool to see something like this?
