At a special event for members of the press Wednesday morning, Apple CEO Steve Jobs took the stage to finally end the rumors about ``One more thing...`` First up on his list of announcements was a new iMac, which is thinner than previous models and includes a built-in iSight camera and Media Center-like capabilities.
A new application dubbed ``Front Row`` provides a 10-foot interface that lets iMac users control music, video and pictures while relaxing on a sofa. Text and graphics are enlarged for viewing at a distance.
The refreshed iMac comes also with an iPod-like remote control, which includes only 6 buttons and a slim design. In his keynote Jobs said the remote is much easier than Microsoft`s 40-plus button remotes designed for Windows XP Media Center Edition.
Also included with the iMac is a new program called ``Photobooth`` for making fun pictures.
