We'll be pretty happy if the next iMac looks a little like this, which is saying something because we don't usually
get very worked up about all-in-one PCs very much. The TG LLUON LNLA11-1 has a 2.8GHz P4, a 17-inch LCD, 120GB hard
drive, 802.11g, and integrated TV and DVD. We like, we like. And yeah, it will probably cost more than the new iMac too
(they usually do, once they start looking too good to be a PC), with prices starting at $1,700 and going up to $2050
US.

Here's the corporate info page in English:

Looks like an updated version of Gateway's 610 series Media Center PCs (they're selling them out at as refurbs at $1299)

Sorry, but that thing's pretty ugly. It looks like something somebody welded together using old computer parts. Apple likes smooth lines.
I don't see much about that thing to like, especially after the CURRENT iMac. How about this for an idea for the new iMac . . .
A 15" and 17" version of Apple's new displays for a reasonable price hooked up (with a detachable cable, not an arm) to the bottom half of an iBook or Powerbook. The fact that it isn't actually a notebook might allow Apple to use heat-dissipating technology that wouldn't be practical in a portable and get a G5 in a small form factor. You have a great display (or use any display you like with a DVI connector) and a keyboard containing your drives, etc.
That is really UGLY!!!!!!
Ha ha! So now that the new iMac G5 is out, I hope you like it better than this thing ;-).
The picture does not do this machine any justice. When you see it in person, then you will be really hooked. Saw it in Korea before I even read anything about it, I wanted it immediately.
