Yesterday, 2.8 GHz 24" iMac = £1125 Today, 2.66GHz 24" iMac = £1199

"What¹s even more dazzling, the 24-inch iMac now starts at £1,199.00."

Yes, but the most dazzling thing about it is that Apple have the sheer
bloody cheek to imply this is a price drop!

I think the wording is as the American web site where presumeably there is a
price drop. Foot in mouth job. Putting Apple's pricing through an exchange
rate calculator doesn't sooth though.

They've now completely changed that paragraph on the UK store. Sometimes
I really don't understand Apple - this sort of thing seems to happen
nearly every time. It's as though the people running the UK web site and
store are completely taken by surprise when the USA operation rolls out
a product launch.
