I agree that they could do this and do it extremely well. Heck, take the iMac, remove the display, lay it flat, put some rubber feet on the end, and you're 80% there. To me it feels like a timid half-step rather than going whole hog, unless they're waiting for the next generation DVD struggle to sort itself out.
