Apple next week will announce a new flat-panel iMac, a revised iBook, and iPhoto software, MacMinute sources have confirmed.The new iMac will feature a 15-inch LCD display with a G3 processor at speeds of up to 750MHz, if not faster. Sources suggest that pricing for the flat-panel iMac will top out at roughly US$1,800, with Apple offering at least one traditional iMac configuration to keep the entry-level cost below $1,000. There will also be additional speed bumps on the low-end iMacs. Details on the iBook revision are scarce, although sources indicate it will likely include a speed-bump and possibly the availability of multiple colors. Finally, iPhoto will extend the ease of use and functionality of Apple’s i-line of software titles to image manipulation. Sources note that additional announcements will also be made.
