OT:
Considering the slogan for Macintosh is "Think Different," any sort of marketing campaign that says "see we're now just like PC's" would be counterproductive. I imagine that when they release the first intel Macs they will minimize the importance of the new chips. Of course they'll harp on about the power of dual-core and all, but they won't make a big deal about the fact that the dual-core comes from intel.
On Topic:
With the most recent update to the iMac it seems clear Apple is comitted to keeping the iMac around for a while. If it transitions to a media center, with content supplied primarily through the internet by means of iTMS and/or "Vingle" then it will justify the retention of the "i" moniker.
