Both with Dell and Apple, it's not technically a new, simpler design, is it? You may not remember, but back in the day, computers used to be all one unit. Separating the monitor from the rest of the hardware was once an innovation. Now we are returning to that old philosophy (but in prettier packages). I don't think Apple has any more of a right to claim innovation by returning to this old method with the iMac than Dell or Gateway given it is technically the way computers were historically manufactured.
