I wonder if someone like me could use it?
If you have an Apple store near by, go in and play with it after it is released.
As much as this 'looks like' iMovie Pro, it is high end software which requires a degree of commitment. In other words, a learning curve you have to buy into.

Three things:
Car Photo: Put this argument to bed for good, check his SPYphone log file, and see where he was at that point in time. ;) But I'm in the parking lot camp until that info is shared.
LCD: What a terrible looking display - back light bleeding not so much as terrible diffusion / light scatter - you can clearly see the LEDs themselves - bleeding I usually associate with a spot or two from poor extinction ratios - but that thing is... ack. As for the white balance bit with a white surround, I've yet to notice this effect while using any of my white iMacs, and have not seen it on the white Macbooks...
Lozenge Shaped Sensor: Huh? It looks no different from the sensor in my black iPhone. Hold a flashlight up to the front - it's in the same shape, and location, as this white iPhone... Only difference being, it's a lot easier to spot on the white one.

It's truly shocking how many empty headed people offer a mac mini as an idea when someone obviously wants an expandable system. He already has a tower and is looking at another tower so spending more and getting what he doesn't want is a solution somehow.. Wow.
Anyway.. some actual advice intended to help you. I wouldn't buy a G5 tower myself as they are far too unreliable. I have posted about this before and they are quite unreliable. This (http://www.macintouch.com/reliability/pmg5.html) link shows extensive research based on actual Apple repair records on G5's. A quick sum up is that even the most reliable one (the dual 2.3GHz) saw 11% go in the shop for one reason or another. The worst model (the first dual 2GHz) saw a whopping 32% in the shop for repair.
Best and cheapest solution in my mind..
Get a G4 MDD dual 1.25 or dual 1.42. Even the dual 1.25 will be a world apart performance wise compared to your single 867MHz. Not quite as fast as a dual G5 but really not all that much slower and much more reliable. A fair price on ebay for these models would be maybe 150-225. I prefer the heavily upgraded Sawtooth I have but it's a much bigger investment than an ebay MDD. Even the low end dual 867 MDD I used to own handled all flash quite well. A 1.25+ won't have any issues with anything you want to do at all.
To each their own.. most of my everyday work, about 70-80 percent is done on the PB G4 - basics.. only handbrake and dvd encoding is done on my 6-core mac pro.. I have no use for video editing, and personally will never touch it because I don't have the time nor desire to learn about it.
Well, I just replaced the 5400 120GB PATA in my PB G4 and replaced it with a OWC Legacy SSD drive and it has brought new life to my power book G4.
I say: Why not? My 2010 Mac Pro seems to love the company of its older brothers, the PPC macs.. and even my Gateway p-6860fx chimes along as well. All of them get along.. none of them hate each other.. why hate ppc? Why hate Intel?? So long as the computer can do what you ask of it, it is NEVER obsolete.
We should all play nice.

there is no "mac pro tax"
there is
Brand tax - what all brands (HP, Dell, etc) charges extra VS buying loose components
Workstation grade component tax - the price you pay extra for workstation components, ECC RAM, Xeon CPU, etc, vs desktop components
Apple update tax - Apple does not lower price (rarely) on the model cycles, making it out of sync (read: more expensive) against component and competitor prices towards end of cycle

Will the clip be as good for exercising as the dorky (but useful) stringy thing?
Again, I am worried about the moisture factor. The sport case was great, as it kept sweat out. Any amount of moisture through that back switch and the thing died - eventually what killed mine, I think.
I'd be hesitant to wear the thing while running in fear of sweating on it.

Battery life... feedback from anyone who has upgraded? Better or the same?
My battery on 4.2.1 was phenomenal. Ever since I upgraded to 4.3 (then 4.3.1, then 4.3.2), it has been noticeably poor. Would love to hear if this actually made any improvements in this area.

My biggest question is: with final cut pro X do you still have to render EVERYTHING? if not that would save SO MUCH time! :D
No thankfully that was a key item in the presentation. It uses all of your cores/threads and renders while you work (finally).

anti microbial soap will definitely help, puss and blood are normal though, especially if it gets hit on accident, its a wound so those are part of the healing process. just be careful not to sleep on it, and clean it before and after you sleep especially.
I do wash it immediately before bed, and when I wake.
They said wash 2-3 times a day, when washing ...Soap Rinse Soap Rinse Soap Rinse (three times the charm I guess, I also use a bit of it on my whole face just as an extra precaution but just one soap rise)

Mobile DDR3 1.3ghz is the same speed, and will bench the same as Desktop DDR3 1.3ghz. The only difference between desktop ram and mobile ram is that desktop ram can reach speeds higher than 1.3ghz and can be over clocked. While Mobile ram takes awhile to reach higher speeds (It wasn't until 2010 where mobile DDR3 reached 1.3ghz) and the dimms are smaller, and cost more for their smaller size. Speed wise, if they are listed the same speed, both will bench the same.
Memory DIMMs come in different latencies at the same clock rate - often called "CL".
A quick check of Newegg showed CL9 to be the overwhelming rating of SO-DIMM DDR3 modules, with a few at the faster CL7. (CL9 has a latency of 9 cycles, CL7 has a latency of 7 cycles.)
For standard 240 pin DDR3 DIMMs, CL9 was the most common, but lots of CL8 and CL7 DIMMs were listed.
By the way, guys, the iMacs have had separate mobile graphics boards since the first aluminium models from August 2007.
It's a standard: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MXM

I go to the same school as the original poster and I can tell everyone here that our IT department is absoloutely useless! Upon disscussion with around 90% of the teachers in school, every single one of them agree. The person who took is MBA from him is really awful and it pains me to even think about the fact he has any authority, I have seen many mistakes he's made which clearly shows to me that his knowledge of technology is severely limited and I have no idea how he got the job. It's certain that is very sour about his lack of power in the establishment and takes every oppurtunity to attempt to excercise any punishment. I'm not really a mac user, and so have a couple of normal PCs which I regularly take into school with me. No teacher has ever had a problem, and the same person who confiscated the MBA has seen me using it multiple times without issue. There is no policy that restricts the use of personal laptops, although phones are banned. In fact, most of my teachers reccomend and encourage to use of our laptops because they are much better and have better software. It seems to me that he was just very jealous about the fact he is too low paid to afford a mac and felt the need to try and confiscate it. For the record, the network is completely secure and encrypted, there are several routers around the school which are inaccessable so any communication with them is impossible without knowing the passkey. Also, the network is based around several servers which are all protected by hardware firewalls and protection devices and I know for a fact it is impossible for any computer unregistered and recognised to the network to have any connection so really it's complete BS the department have no idea what they are on about :')

Part of the blame goes to Apple and their money grubbing ways, in that they want a 30% cut of gross sub $. This makes it far less attractive for publishers to do this. Also, I too would love a unified model, but I am sure Apple would also want a slice of the action here as well.
Oh please, you get a mag for about $1.50 mailed to your house, how is $4.99 or even $2.99 even remotely justified...

Man, I really want Apple to get in this space.
Every phone on the market sucks.
The carriers are all dirt bags.
The integration between phone and computer is not happening since MS sucks, and there are too many walls between the players.
This is a huge market. Dive in Apple and change the game yet again.
We're waiting with our wallets open.

I agree about iDVD. I use it more than iMovie. A 64-bit re-write is certainly tempting, but not at the expense of one of my favorite applications. Apple hopefully has something even better to replace it.

I think any iPhone 5-type upgrade would be incremental, like the 2G to 3G. 3G to 3GS was actually a significant upgrade hardware wise, and then the 3GS to 4 was also a significant upgrade as well. I think the iPhone 5 would maybe get an an A5 but I'm not sure of what else. Apple (and the public) seems really happy with the 4's design and I don't think they'll want to deviate from that too soon.
I wouldn't be surprised if they moved the iPhone refreshes to the fall. That way, they have hype and lines going almost all year, and especially into the holidays.

Things like the forum replies, or like "Will it blend?"?
The "Will it blend?"-series is pure genius. It is not some random Joe smashing stuff, it is a for-profit company spending very few dollars and getting extremely wide coverage.
Its silly things like this that make US companies extremely successful. That guy is laughing all the way to the bank.
