since all of the things this topic relates to are peripherals, this belongs in peripherals.

You're right... It looks like has those same "conductors" or whatever you want to call them around the edge... I think that on the iPod they are used (or I should say "will" be used) for a wired-remote. I can't think of what Apple would be doing with this same kind of contact on the iMac. Could it be some kind of 5.1 "Apple Specific" connector? I wonder what Apple has up their sleeve???

Cue shocking discovery music from a movie! "Duh duh duhhhhH!"

that would be cool. i thought it might be to control the volume from within the ipod and not from a resistor on the cord type thing. but i will hope for what you said.
