Do you guys think there will be a revision to the Mac mini by christmas? What kind of specs do you think we can expect from a revised mini?

95%+ chance of a revision within a year. Likely improvement: faster disk, speed bump to 1.33GHz. But, hey, I'm only guessing. Essentially, it'll be the same as today's mini - relatively weak, but cute and tiny.

Do you think they'll call it the Mac micro?

See, then it'd be a micro-computer.

Only if it is much smaller. Or a smaller line on the Mac Mini.

Remember in size the G4 iMac is much bigger than than the G5 but calling it the Micro iMac would be a bad marketing move.

Granted bad analogy. :p

What on earth would ever posses you to ask such a question? The Mini has just begun shipping today. Why would you be thinking about a reversion?

Because I can't afford one now, but there is a good chance I could get one for Xmas. I was just curious if it was likely that there would be a new version out by then.
