Apple Store are down 
NO MATTE SCREEN. NO BUY IMAC. Period.
And Magic Trackpad! 
Nothing about a GPU update which is more important than the CPU these days. Plus clarity in this article is lacking.
No big deal info from the horses mouth should be here soon.

You do realize you can add a second monitor and as a pro user I am sure you need dual as I do so you should simply add a matte second one ... problem solved
Wow. So the iMac gets two updates in a row and... the Mac Pro nothing?!? What the hell Apple? This is ridiculous. I cannot believe Apple still sells an outdated piece of hardware at brand new prices (Nehalem, come on... everyone else already sells some configuration of Gulftown processors!) I am thoroughly disappointed.

Hmm... Maybe time for a low end iMac this Chirstmas. We've been needing a second computer around the house more and more with the little one getting older. Have to really check the funds to see if I can squeeze one of these under the tree this year.
