Why? Consider this: A notebook screen is 15". It is not nearly as big compared to an iMac's screen. If Apple were to add a retina display to an iMac, the resolution would be even higher than the notebook's and all of the apps would have to upgrade again, which would just inflate a lot of apps and cause a lot of problems.

New iMac looks beautiful but I want a retina display on it, I will therefore wait a year. Now, I am very disappointed in price of iPad mini, $329 is about $50-$129 too much for it not to have a retina display. I have an iPad already, no reason to buy anything new at those prices. If it was $199 I would have picked one up in addition to my The new old iPad 3rd generation. I am curious about the small form factor though, maybe I will get a Nexus 7? Would be my first Android! I will see what Google releases next week and decide then!
