Full FeedNew Mac Mini to be introduced at Macworld?
Macworld is coming, and if Wired is to be believed, a new Mac Mini is coming along for the ride. That’s pretty much as far as the rumor from an anonymous source goes, but I won’t leave you hanging.
The rumor might be a bit lacking in details, but there are a number of things that can be expected from a new Mac Mini. First off is the obvious inclusion of a DisplayPort. Apple intends to include it on computers across the board, so the Mac Mini would be no exception. This also means you’d more than likely need an adapter. You could also expect 802.11n. All new Macs except the current Mac Mini support this, so the Mac Mini would just be playing catch up here. There are also the obvious number bumps in all the normal places. Likely 2GB of RAM, a larger HDD and an NVIDIA graphics chip. Wired seems to mostly agree with me on where I’m thinking Apple is going with the Mac Mini, and all of these things could combine to make one amazing aluminum box.
It’s just a rumor right now, but Mac Minis are popular, and people who own them really love them, so I’m having a hard time believing that Apple is ending the Mac Mini. Only time will tell, and we’re less than a month away from Macworld, so it won’t be long now.

iPhone App Reviews
iPhone Apps. They were great when the App Store was first announced and we could all pick and chose what we wanted, but the number is now overwhelming. Here at Appletell, we'll detail the great iPhone apps we find, and steer you clear from those that aren't worth it even if they're free.
iPhone Game Reviews
As Apple turns the iPhone into one of the most popular gaming devices, the staff of Appletell--gamers and Apple fans alike--are here to help you get the most entertainment value out of your app store purchases.
I’d love to see the Mini improved. Some of the specs you mentioned are almost mandatory, but the redesign of the outside into a more compact aluminum thingy would be nice.
I don’t know what else could be done to improve it without killing the Apple TV. Sure, there’s a significant price difference, but a super-Mac Mini will easily wipe the ATV from the face of the earth.
