The success of the iMac has left Apple
watchers wondering what will be the next
act for the Cupertino, Calif.-based computer
company.
And while Apple isn't talking about its plans, sources
close to the company say that a 300-MHz version of
the iMac will debut at Macworld Boston in August,
with a 333-MHz version soon after that.
Apple co-founder and interim CEO Steve Jobs has said
that Apple will improve on the basic features of the
iMac, such as adding more RAM and a larger hard
drive.
Sources said the next generation of the consumer
systems would also feature Apple's second-generation
Columbus motherboard, or C2, which uses the New
World II/"Open World" chip set with reduced 512k
hardware ROM. Other enhancements would likely
include UltraDMA drive buses, as well as features
making the computers easier to upgrade, sources said.
Price is also likely to come down. The low-end
233-MHz iMac will go for $899, according to reports.
The basic model of the current iMac at the Apple online
store runs $1,199 for a 266-MHz. model.
