New Additions to the iMac Family? New limbs? Opposable thumbs?

The word on the street for some time has been that the 20" and 24" iMacs would be seeing some renovations in the near future. A lot of people expected something at Macworld, but that didn't happen.

Well, now AppleInsider is saying that there will indeed be rennovations headed to the 20" and 24" iMacs. "The new models "have been described as both slimmer and sleeker than the 17-, 20- and 24-inch models they will replace." Sleeker than the current designs? Hrmm...maybe Apple does want everyone mounting them on their walls after all.

Any why not? Especialyl if you're going to give them new peripherals as well. The side that is insider said "a super-slim external keyboard for the new Macs" is on the way. "It's said to draw upon the aesthetic and feel of the low-profile keyboard which was first integrated with the company's 13-inch MacBook portables in May of 2006." Interesting indeed.

No word on the 17". Most predict its going to go the way of the mini, which is to say the way of the dodo.
