Wow, you have got to see this!
I just went to the Apple site and suddenly I had this huge rush of excitement when I saw this sort of teaser on their homepage.
My first thought was, "take a screenshot, put it on Mac-Forums!".
And luckily I did, because when I then refreshed the page it was gone, back to the "Say hello to iPhone" thing. nnn!
Could this've been a mistake, maybe they are releasing the new iMac in a few days and they accidently put it on there. It seems very unlikely to me though.
Anyway, here's the screenshot.

Wrong font & Photoshop icon in the quicklinks bar is a dead giveaway ;)

Well, I don't think Apple would do something like that.;)

Sometimes I think even the pre-release information we get is leaked by Apple lol. They have very tight control of their game :)

Apple have been known to update their website a little early in the past; but the "when I then refreshed the page it was gone, back to the "Say hello to iPhone" thing. nnn!", and the wrong font makes it dead obvious.

Looks nice though.

Make sure you get the right font if you're making a mockup - it should be Myriad.

a bit strong. I just don't see the point of claiming a mock up that someone has made as real. not only did it get my hopes up but other people too. I just thought it was a bit pointless thats all.
