Default Next-gen iMac with new keyboard at August 7 special event [Merged]

From AppleInsider

Quote:
Tapping the wizardry of industrial design chief Jonathan Ive and his team, the Cupertino-based Mac maker has reportedly crafted a super-slim external keyboard for the new Macs. It's said to draw upon the aesthetic and feel of the low-profile keyboard which was first integrated with the company's 13-inch MacBook portables in May of 2006.
I suppose a new keyboard is due (or overdue) as the current style has been around for a very long time... and is a dirt magnet - looks great but a bugger to clean.

No mention of a new mouse but I would have to assume that if the iMac is changing to brushed aluminium (allegedly) then the keyboard and mouse might also get a new finish.

I haven't used a MacBook keyboard. Does that flush style work well? Would it suit a desktop environment?
