I understand that Apple wanted to get "Mac" into the name of their Macintosh computers. The move away from iBook and PowerBook made a lot of sense given this reasoning.

Now, "Power Mac" has the name "Mac", but I can see them wanting to drop "Power" too, as a way of moving away from the "PowerPC"-based machines.

"Mac mini"...well that makes sense.

But then we seem to be left with "iMac" the only remaining name from the "i" days. Though still containing "Mac" it seems oddly out of place here:

Mac mini
iMac
Mac Pro

MacBook
MacBook Pro

Then, of course, there is "XServe". But We'll let that slide because it is completely "out there".

Mac Pro is a simple and cool enough name.

This is a no-brainer.

im very interested in seeing the specs/features of this MacPro...

I like it. Although, does anybody else think "XStation" would be cool?

Mac Wii

what happened to "macintosh"

Powerbook -> MacBook Pro
iBook -> MacBook
Mac Mini -> Mac Mini
Powermac -> Mac Pro

iMac -> Mac?

iPod -> MacPod??

iLife -> MacLife???
iTunes -> MacTunes????

Egads.

Apple describes Mac Pro broadly as: "computers; computer hardware; computer software; computer peripherals; notebook computers; laptop computers; tablet computers; computer servers; handheld computers; mobile computers; hard drives; audio speakers; speakers for computers; radios; cameras; video cameras; telephones; mobile telephones; personal digital assistants; electronic organizers; electronic notepads; magnetic data carriers; telephones; mobile phones; computer gaming machines; microprocessors; memories boards; monitors; displays; keyboards; computer input devices; computer cables; modems; printers; parts and accessories for all the aforesaid goods."

"tablet computers(MacTabet), speakers for computers(is Apple going to do more external speakers), mobile telephones(iPhone), personal digital assistants(Mac PDA)" A few items of interest there
