G5 Optimized Pro Software

Apple today released G5/Panther optimized versions of Shake, DVD Studio Pro and Final Cut Pro -- making them some 50% faster, according to their site. The improvements mean that... "Power Mac G5 systems can play up to seven simultaneous standard definition (SD) video streams. With DV content, the Power Mac G5 can play up to nine simultaneous streams." They've also added a new dual 1.8 Ghz G5 machine at $2499 (nice) and something of a surprise: a 20" flat panel iMac. Jinkies! So if they can sell a whole iMac with a 20" screen for $2xxx, shouldn't the 20" Cinema Display drop in price by a few hundred bucks?
