Think Secret is reporting that Apple will unveil a new display-less iMac at the upcoming MacWorld Expo on January 11th that will sell for just $500. Similar in power to an iBook, the G4-powered box will be targeted at Windows users who would like to move over to a Mac, but haven’t considered it as an option because the entry level machine was an iMac or an eMac, both of which are more expensive than a rock-bottom Windows PC.
While I’d love for this rumor to be true (I’d definitely be buying at least one, if not more), keep in mind this is joining the iPod Flash, Motorola iPhone, and Apple Asteroid FireWire audio interface in the list of possible product releases from Apple this January.
