Apple updates - Imac's, Mac Mini's & Mac Pro's

Hi
I'm working thru the night tonight and have looked at the new 24" iMac lineup in particular:
- the previously included remote control is now a $30 extra
- you can now have up to 8GB RAM, with default of 4 GB - but the extra 4GB costs $1,700 more
- default HDD size up from 320 to 640GB
- lose 2 x FW400 ports, gain one USB2
- newer graphics cards (more grunt but how much extra, not known)
- CPU speed around the same, with a new new entry level speed of 2.66GHz, 2.8GHz replaced by 2.9xGHz, 3.06GHz unchanged.
- price change/value a bit difficult to pick due to better RAM/HDD baselines together with price increases and de-featuring.

Will I be trading in my 2.8GHz 24" iMac? Nope.

Regards,
Calx
