PVRBlog has the scoop on something I find really interesting - the possible evolution of iTunes into an Apple Media Center:
The new iMac + Front Row package looks pretty similar to the first versions of Microsoft's Media Center XP. You have simple access to your music, photos, videos, and DVD player, all from a small iPod-like remote. It doesn't look like they're concentrating on sending the video to another room or to a larger screen, but if you live in a small apartment or dorm room and don't need to send video out to a larger screen, backing away from your iMac and using the remote could be a pretty good solution for an entertainment PC.
If Apple comes out with PVR capabilities, I'd get one of those instead of another Media Center PC. The Media Center PC has been too flaky.
