Announced yesterday afternoon, the Apple iMac line will get an upgrade to the new Core 2 Duo Penryn processors and a nice kick in speed to 2.4GHz for the 20" base model and 3.06GHz for the 24" top-dog model. Again, no price changes here - just faster, meaner iMacs.
Apple iMacs Get A Small Boost In Speed
The starting price stays the same at $1199 for the 20" and $2199 if you're looking to upgrade to the 24" model. Comes with the usual Bluetooth 2.1+, 80211n WiFi integrated, built-in iSight, 3 USB 2.0 ports, and 2 Firewire ports. Available for purchase via the Apple Store.

Question, as I am a PC guy and am thinking about a Mac: The one gig memory that most of them are configured with.... is that enough? I realize the uplift to 2 gig is cheap, but going to 4 gig is a little pricey.

Chris-- It's common knowledge among Mac folks, but just in case you aren't aware... *never* buy additional memory from Apple. You can get better prices elsewhere. I recommend OtherWorld Computing, but any third party vendor will do.
OSX can run fine in 1 GB, but I recommend you have at least 2 GB for optimal performance.

Crucial usually has pretty good full-y compatible Mac ram available.
