After the usual chit-chat about the success of the retail stores and iTunes, Jobs got to the meat of the matter. He announced an FM-tuner with remote-control for the Nano/Video iPod.

And enjoy the sparkling mediocrity that is ATi's Linux support.

There's no RV5xx listed there, so it seems doubtful.

At this point, giving up 3D also means hampering the performance or availability of all of the pointless eye-candy people expect from their future computing experiences.

ATi releases drivers for Linux, they're just mediocre compared to what nVidia offers. There doesn't seem like a lot of point shelling out a lot of money for an iMac if your Linux experience suffers when running Linux, if doing so is your intended goal. You'd have to really like the form-factor.
