This will get you released hardware -- an iMac -- to keep.

Was this part of the original agreement? I only recall that the DTK machines
would have to be returned. 

I don't think so. I believe it was only announced after the keynote
that introduced the Intel iMacs.

Personally, I that stinks. It's a great surprise for people who got one, but
if you're a smaller developer who opted to not get a DTK because you didn't
feel a prerelease loaner justified spending $999 (and I know people who
decided to not get a DTK for just that reason), you might feel Apple misled
people in a way that favors larger developers.

I don't think it would have been in Apple's best interest to preannounce to the world, "you can spend $999 now to get a $1699 machine in a few months."
They're being incredibly generous to their most faithful developers, the ones who worked overtime to have Universal Binaries on day one. Don't look so hard to find fault.
