SMSI needs to awaken their Marketing department....they can never put together a timely press release, especially last week when they were at a technology conference.

More news..... New iMac in September? Wendy J. Mattson, ZDNet No word yet from Apple, but two Mac retailers say they expect to start selling a new, upgraded version of the iMac sometime next month. Sales representatives for New York-based J&R Electronics Inc. and for a Sears, Roebuck and Co. (NYSE:S - news) store in California confirmed Friday that shipments of new iMacs are scheduled for delivery in September. A J&R Electronics salesman said the September iMacs will be different from current models, but he was unable to specify the new models' processor speed, monitor size or other details. Another salesman confirmed that the company's mail-order catalog states that current iMac models are no longer available and that new iMacs will arrive in September. J&R Electronics will start taking advance orders for the new models in late August. Meanwhile, a salesman at the Sears store in San Bruno, Calif., said Friday he expected the forthcoming iMac to feature a faster processor and more software, but with the same 15-inch monitor as current models. The all-in-one desktop systems are sold through a new computer department at Sears, which operates 848 full stores in the United States. Apple's lips are sealed Apple (Nasdaq:AAPL - news) spokeswoman Nathalie Welch refused to comment Friday on reports of an imminent change in the company's iMac line. If a new iMac were to ship in September, both the upcoming Seybold Seminars San Francisco or the Apple Expo 99 in Paris would be opportune times for Apple to introduce it. The Seybold show is scheduled Aug. 30-Sept. 3, and the Paris expo runs Sept. 15-19. Apple iCEO Steve Jobs is expected to appear at both events. The popular iMac has already had three revisions since its debut nearly one year ago, on Aug. 15. Those first Bondi-blue machines had a 233-MHz processor running Mac OS 8.1 and were upgraded to Mac OS 8.5 -- along with a new graphics card and more video RAM -- in November. Best-ever seller Apple's five-color iMac line was unveiled in January, along with a 266-MHz processor, only to get a speed boost to 333 MHz in April. By last month's Macworld Expo, Apple said, more than 1.9 million iMacs had been sold, making it the best-selling computer in Apple's history. The online Apple Store currently sells iMacs for $1,199. The computers come with a 333-MHz G3 processor, 32 Mbytes of RAM and a 6-Gbyte IDE drive and include a 24x internal CD-ROM drive and an internal 56-Kbps modem. The iMac's built-in 15-inch display offers a viewable area of 13.8 inches. When purchased from the Apple Store, the iMac comes with Mac OS 8.6 and a dozen applications already installed: AppleWorks, Quicken Deluxe 98 from Intuit Inc. (Nasdaq:INTU - news), the Williams-Sonoma Guide to Good Cooking, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Outlook Express, Netscape Communicator, Adobe PageMill, MetaCreations Corp.'s Kai's Photo Soap SE, Nanosaur, World Book Encyclopedia, EdView Internet Safety Kit,and FAXstf from Smith Micro Software (Nasdaq:SMSI - news) Inc
