An AppleInsider forum user has posted what could be pictures from the new iMac G5. They were taken on a elevator of a Paris airport (Roissy – Charles de Gaulle). “The pictures first appeared in a .Mac account, but was soon shut down,” according to MDN reader Felipe. “These guys apparently went to a lot of trouble mounting a scenario to take these pictures. You can’t actually tell if they are fake or not (from the angles of the picture), but at least the mistery surrounding the story does give it some credibility IMHO.”

Felipe wonders:

What if Apple cleverly designed this product to be used at home / home office and for it the become a Home Entertainment Center? I know Steve Jobs said he did not see the computer and the TV merging, but think of all the uses it could have:

1) Computer
2) Stereo (iTunes / iPod / AirTunes / etc)
3) DVR (Tivo-like or EyeTV)
4) Digital Picture frame (iPhoto)
5) DVD player / Recorder (SuperDrive / iDVD)

Felipe asks, “What do you think!?!”
