TUAW Video Podcast: iMac Core Duo, Part 1

That's right! It's here: the first part of my video podcast report on the new iMac Core Duo. What's amazing about this video podcast is that you don't actually see the iMac at all (except for the remote). Instead, I recorded the entire thing with me yammering on about the iMac with the iMac itself. I used the built-in iSight and iMovie HD to record my ramblings and it worked quite nicely. My only complaint has to do with the lighting in my apartment, and the way the iSight, unlike the normal 10lbs added by TV cameras, actually adds on about 35lbs... All right. Who am I kidding? I'm fat. And also something weird was going on with my hair.

Here's a direct link to the file [16.2MBs; Control Click and Save the 3:37 video], which you should also find enclosed in our feed and available via the iTMS. If the file comes down as a text file, just remove the .txt extension from the end and it will work like a charm. MIME types confuse the Internets at times.

Check back tomorrow for an actual video of the iMac, complete with it booting by itself, booting next to my wife's 12-inch Powerbook, and launching different programs. Does the excitement ever stop? Does it?!
