Rumors predict many new features together in the next generation of iMac

iMacAmong all the members of the Apple computer family, there is none that has as much speculation for the future as the iMac, the desktop all-in-one from the company. After some vehicles launch the first availability forecasts for a short time, the French website Mac 4 Ever published a series of rumors about the product, covering accessories and applications for Mac OS X.

According to the data obtained, the next iMac will also bring with it a slot of SD cards following the manufacturing standard of the 13 and 15 inch MacBooks Pro, in addition to four core processor options. THE Mac 4 Ever says that there is no longer talk about Core 2 Quad or Core i7 for the desktop, but in one of Intel's Xeon Quad line products, that is, something _well_ top of the line for him.

Within the context of the iMac, Apple should also launch a new mouse, with few design changes that I hope will appeal to your foes and full gesture support multi-touch. In addition, the return of the Apple Remote to the accessory package included with the computer is also being planned, as a new aluminum-based design is planned for it, which may also suggest changes to the Apple TV.

Finally, new company application launches were cited, which will take advantage of Snow Leopard's features and will be rewritten in 64 bits by Apple. Even if they do not come next year, rumors suggest that they are already being planned and will serve not only to accelerate the popularization of the new Mac OS X, but also to speed up the discontinuation of previous versions within a much shorter period than we were used to. in the past.
