Until we know why the panel is so cheap, I bet we’re going to see a lot of Mac Pro owners buying 27” monitors for $1700 and trying to figure out what to do with the free computer stuck to the back. For new-computer shopping, a lot of people are going to abandon whichever laptop or Mac Pro they were considering and get this instead.

That helps answer the “why” question: Maybe Apple wants to push more buyers away from today’s default system-type choice — laptops — and show them why they should consider getting a fast, spacious desktop instead. And, for the time being, it’s a desktop with absolutely no equivalent in the PC world.

I agree with some others that this is gunning for people to replace their TVs. I think Apple is working on some software that would be added to Front Row and the Apple TV to make them more useful, like a Boxee or a XBMC. They already have the content creators on the iTunes store, is streaming next?

Keep in mind the 27-inch iMac is also VESA mountable. Could the next Apple TV be a television? I’m not sure Apple wants to get into that business, but it’s essentially the iPod equivalent of the home entertainment market.

However, I can’t help but think of Sony and what happens to companies when they try to do everything. Think Different?

“

We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life.

Life is brief, and then you die, you know?

And we’ve all chosen to do this with our lives. So it better be damn good. It better be worth it.

”

- Steve Jobs (via minimalmac)

I think Steve is paraphrasing a favourite Nas track of his, of which the refrain plays:

“Life’s a bitch and then you die.
That’s why we get high,
because you never know
when you’re gonna go.”
