Barely any mention of previous iMacs and none at all of Apple's long history as an innovative computer manufacturer. Is this a pointer to where Apple sees its future sales and its future customer base coming from?

The iPod is the most recognisable of their products at the moment I would have thought. The original iMac is a design icon, but it's been out of production for 2 or 3 years now. And sadly, Apple's long history of innovation has singularly failed to propel it to worldwide megastardom and dominance of the computer hardware or OS market. Telling people 'we made the iPod, and now we've made this' is certainly the best way to get people to at least take a look at it.
