Apple Attack!

So today Apple Computer unveiled a new revision of its popular iMac computer with integrated iSight plus other niceties which turn it into a full fledged media center pc out of the box. Worth mentioning also is the new video iPod, which might seem a little on the "too little, too late side". Seeing how Creative Labs has a portable media player with a wider screen as well as Palm with their offering one is left thinking. For one sure, its thinner than the previous generation iPod, but the screen itself is quite small, putting into doubt how much of a "video ipod" the device really is. Apple also released iTunes 6, which still hasn't solved a lot of bugs and nor more than before locks at random and makes super heavy usage of cpu and system resources. Did Apple rush into things this time? iMac aside, one can only speculate although I know many are waiting for a badly needed update to iTunes, and a posible solution for the iPod Nano's screen problems.
