I wish he had not said that at all. Now im going to rack my brain wondering if I should wait or not for a refreshed apple tv. He just should have said, no comment. 'Soon' could be next week or next quarter to Steve, ugh. I was planning on buying one this week
Got a tip for us?

Yeah, they asked some stupid questions. Like about the AMD chips?
They should have been asking about the Pro, Cinema display, etc. Glad they asked about the Mini though. I wonder when we'll see the updates to it hit the site.Because no one cares about Blu-Raydamnit why didn't anyone ask Apple about why they didn't have Blu-Ray as a BTO option?!
also: store went back down cause the new iMac link was broken, still waiting for it to come back up...
Hmmm.... the miniature bluetooth keyboard sucks a bit. I hope they bring out a 'pro' aluminium wireless keyboard with all the keys. I use those missing ones all the time!
No Blu-ray?
It's a cosmetic facelift, not a model update. They've dropped the 17" because few people bought it, and put a brushed alloy skin on what is essentially a 20" and 24" iMac. And why is it taking so long to introduce the Blu-ray in the line-up? The 20" models all have the mid-range 6600 Core 2Duo, when a much quicker and cooler 6750 is available at little extra cost. I say, bring out a 32" panorama iMac with a Core 2 Extreme and Blu-ray and ditch the 24".

Apple didn't update the tech specs page for the Mac mini yet ... I was wondering what people were talking about regarding "upgraded minis".
Ah well, I'll stick with my Core Duo if it's just a processor bump.

He didn't say it has no use, he says it doesn't make sense. He's right. There is no OS interface that can legitamitely support multitouch and make it useful. UI designs don't accomodate fingers yet, even styluses are clunky.
Give Apple some time to come out with a new OS design, or some kind of Front Row for Touchscreen interface (a separate GUI that can be invoked by hitting a key and is designed around multitouch apps).
Since the Mac Mini product page is still the old version I'm wondering how much memory you will be able to upgrade in those boxes.
which page did u get that info from. I goto http://www.apple.com/macmini/specs.html and its the old Mac Mini info.
He didn't say is wasn't practical he said it didn't make sense. Besides if numerous applicable uses aren't practical what is? Or at the least make a version that does have it. It would really be sweet for graphics design.
Leopard supports it. Thats what runs on the iphone.
Design
i would have liked to see a "striking new industrial design" for the mac mini as well. Speed bumps are boring.

Is the Mini updated to include 802.11n?
I guess they don't think very highly of the Mini these days. Not even worth a mention that they're upgrading during the talk. Someone has to ask about it before they'll even mention it. Geez. Personally, who cares about the iMac. I want a headless iMac. I want a 1TB drive in a Mini so it can be a serious home theater system.
