New Apple iMac Keyboard Against Old Version, Better or Worse?

Ever since the speculative photos of Apple iMac’s new keyboard, geeks accross the internet have been comparing and deconstructing every single detail. Side beside, the differences are much more noticable and it seems to me, Apple have substituted convenience for good looks, which some my find annoying but I love.
Personally, I feel something like this needs to have the wow-factor, which the new super slim keyboards do. After all, showing-offness is what Apple do best and we love it. With the sexy iPods and Macbooks, I really feel the new keyboard is a
step in the right direction.
What do YOU think of the new iMac keyboard compared to it’s older relative? Are you annoyed that the help key has been replaced by the fn key? Do you think Apple should have stuck to the revolutionary pure white colour they’re used to? Let us know how you feel.

I think I’ll comment when the REAL new keyboard comes out. You act like this is a real release. GET REAL. IDIOT!
You just reviewed a picture. Can you do that with a picture of a camera or a phone as well?
Not only that, the keyboard photo may be a Photo Shop fake or a prototype or a third party keyboard.
Product Reviews Net should just review physical objects and leave the photo reviews to art critics.
You guys need to calm down.
“Ever since the speculative photos..”
Note the word speculative. Speculative. speculative.
I agree Peto. Everyone here took the time to read the article before owning the new keyboard, and the writer took the time to present something that apparently generated interest enough to read it. What appears to be idiotic is lack of contribution these two readers offer by stating obvious conclusions. Of course it hasn’t been released yet, of course it is only a picture. Isn’t it more information than you previously had? It is speculative. There are thoughts everywhere online about products not yet released.
Tampa Tom… did you try to place your hands to the computer screen to demo the keyboard? Al, do you have evidence that this picture is a fake? Do you question every picture you see?
Too often people enjoy the comforts of speaking (writing)without the discomfort of thought.
Real or not, too often I enjoy the comfort of common sense.
