With the imminent release of Apple’s consumer portable, P1, at Macworld Expo New York City this summer, one has to wonder what other fruit-flavored surprises might get announced at “the big dance.” Continuing in Apple’s trend of updating product lines every 3 months or so with a major overhaul every year or so, Apple is believed to be readying the next revision of iMacs for debut in late summer. Revision E or C2, to the trendier, this new iMac design is poised to be nearly every Mac user’s dream machine:

- 366 MHz G3 processor
- 64 MB of RAM
- 8 GB of disk
- ATI Rage 128 chipset
- 2X DVD-ROM rumored (“DVD to Ship in C2 iMacs?“)
- 1 FireWire port (“Revision D “Eight Ball” Rumors“)
- Enhanced speakers (courtesy of Spatializer Audio Laboratories)
One possible scenario is that Apple could launch the new consumer desktop (Revision E/C2) and its consumer portable companion (P1) and announce an affordable consumer bundle of both items at Macworld Expo. Until then, our rumors mailbox is always open.
