Potential switchers might get the wrong impression when they use a Mac with yesterday's specs. Bargain hunters are going to keep looking at $499 3 GHz Dells. iPod owners are not bargain hunters. This doesn't make any sense to me...UNLESS margins on this thing are going to be super-duper.
Maybe the headless iMac isn't for the $250-$500 iPod crowd. Maybe it is for the $99 flash-Pod crowd.
