I visited my local Apple store with a friend. He wanted the anti-glare film for his iPhone 3G and a car charger. I looked around for the Mac Mini, but didn’t see it. There has been some speculation on what Apple will do with their cheapest fully-featured computer. (See Mac Mini and other Apple products on MacRumor’s Buyer’s Guide) Some think Apple will merge the Apple TV and Mac Mini. Others mention it only in reference to the low cost of Psystar’s Mac clones. (Does anybody else remember UMAX?) Personally, I hope they update it so I can use it as a HTPC with a wireless keyboard. Since my primary (PC – custom built) desktop is in my bedroom, I desperately need a visual interface (ideally, Front Row) scaled for my Sharp Aquos for extended music playback – but I need it to be more robust than the Apple TV’s current iteration.
