Amidst all the hoopla over the new [Intel-based Macs](http://www.apple.com/imac/), I’ve seen little coverage of this item: Developers who spent $999 to “rent” a Developer Transition Kit (a G5 case with a Pentium 4 inside) will have the opportunity to [exchange](http://developer.apple.com/dtkexchange/) it for a 17-inch iMac with the Intel Core Duo inside. For *free*. And yes, they get to keep the iMac.
I had privately conjectured that Apple might encourage developers to return their DTKs on time by offering a small incentive (like a $500 credit towards a new Intel Mac), but this is even better.
