Think Secret is reporting that the next generation in iMacs might be coming sooner than anyone had hoped- on August 7th.

There have been a lot of rumors connected to the new iMacs, the most popular of which is that it will be in brushed metal (aluminum, to be exact) and will be only two inches thick. iDrool.

Are you as addicted to the iTunes store as I am?
Here, some of their new offerings:

New TV Shows:

New Music:

New Movies:

No, we haven’t got one- yet. But like most Mac users, the last week has been all about the mighty iPhone. Here are our favourite links so far:

John Gruber’s First Impressions are, as always, straightforward and simple. If you read only one iPhone review, let it be this one.

Think Secret takes apart the iPhone and creates a whole gallery that’ll make you feel like you’re almost there. Almost.

Derek Powazek’s Review is another good one- and his photos are excellent- but of course.

Like lists? PC World’s 10 Things Apple Did Right and Wrong is a quick read.

And finally, MacWorld’s The iPod that’s really a phone asks how the iPhone is like Apple’s music player—and how it isn’t. This should help those of you who’ve asked the burning question Should I ditch my iPod for an iPhone? (the answer, for now, is no).

iPods are up to 30% off over at Overstock.

This is good for a limited time only, so get!

Arriving this week: my brand spanking new White Macbook 2.16GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with 2GB memory, 120GB hard drive, Double-layer SuperDrive. I’m so excited!

When it comes to desktop screens, bigger is definitely better. Amidst all the buzz about a 23-inch iMac debuting on September 12th, Apple goes ahead and releases a 24-inch iMac. Heh.

Oooh and Ahhh here, or read Paul Stamatiou’s post.

Of course we’re very excited about the MacPro, but until we can actually afford to buy one (with 2 terrabytes of storage!), we’re going to be more excited about the upcoming Leopard.

Here’s what we’re most excited about:
