Price cuts make Cinema Displays more affordable
True to previously published AppleInsider reports, Apple today reduced the price of all three of its flat panel Cinema Display offerings.The 20-inch Cinema Display now fetches a mere $999, while the company's high definition 23-inch and 30-inch displays dropped to $1799 and $2999, respectively.
The price cuts represent a $300 reduction at the high and low end of the product line, along with a $200 markdown for the mid-range 23-inch display.

I wonder what the implications of this are for the rumored cheapMac. Does this mean that a new display, say a $600 17", is coming? But if Jobs was going to introduce a new, smaller one at MacWorld, why wouldn't he just announce the price reductions on existing models at the same time?
My feeling is that this is going to be it. He's going to stick the 20" with the cheapMac, and with the price at sub-$1000, it won't be quite as strange. Still strange, but not quite as strange. This way Jobs doesn't have to talk about displays at MacWorld at all.
£50 has been slashed from the iMac and PowerBook ranges over here... Only worked out because my dad has been pricing up iMacs recently. Houston, we have a convert. 
We know the iMac isn't selling badly (and surely the PB isn't selling that badly either). Could this be down purely to cheaper display units (as the PowerMac's haven't been reduced that I remember) or are they getting an update? I would put the iMac drop down to screen prices and the PB drop down to an update.
Checked all Apple prices in the Belgian store.
Every Apple computer , including the screens and the Xserve & RaID, became cheaper.
Prices in Euro are now approximately the same as in Dollars in the US store.
Seems I bought my iMac just three weeks to early.
But then again, I already had it during my two weeks Christmas holiday.

It's not just the iMac and PB that have had reductions... iBook, Power Mac, eMac too
. I wonder if this could be enough to convince my wife to get an iBook rather than a PC laptop... Did any more hardware get price drops in the US, or is this just restricted to the UK?The price drops on the Cinema Displays are good too - looks like they are more in line with the competition now
.As for PB price drop reflecting an update, I would doubt it, this close to MWSF. Would be nice though

Wow, Apple actually adjusting their prices according to monetary conditions. That's so unlike them. For example, they never change the price of their computers except at specific intervals (Dell changes theirs like weekly).

With the dollar falling as steadily as it is, I'm not surprised that they needed to adjust more quickly.
Nice to see so many happy Europeans, though.

Is the average person who's interested in the $499 computer going to pay more than that for the monitor? I doubt it. They're probably going to hook it up to a monitor they already own, or buy the cheapo LCD unit at Best Buy. If these things do exist, they're definitely aimed at PC converts who are willing to consider a low-priced Mac based on their good experience with their iPod.
