How are the chances of apple releasing a new version of mac mini with built in mic in the June conference. And also the two button mouse. I'm just thinking if I can postpone my mac mini purchase till the June conference for this. Would appreciate yr thoughts. Thank you.

Signs point to maybe.

I think if they simply bumped them all to 512MB RAM out of the box, 5400rpm drives and perhaps a 64MB graphics card of some sort, many who are "on the fence" about these minis (both current Mac users and switchers alike) would easily make the leap.
I have no doubt that the reason many folks are holding off is the current 256MB, slower laptop hard drive and the graphics card (I've read this at numerous forums and sites since the mini's introduction in January). If they think the mini is selling well NOW, change those three things above and watch what happens! It would be VERY hard to pass up. |

WWDC? I see zero reason for them to wait for WWDC to announce it... if something happened to be ready around that timeframe, I'd just expect a random Mon/Tues/Wed announcement during June, not necessarily during WWDC.

What's the point of a microphone inside a desktop? A nice Logitech headphone/mic combo is what, $20?
Line in would make a lot of sense for iChat though. |

Nowhere did I mention a G5, 7200rpm drive, etc. And I certainly am not calling for FireWire 800 and hardcore high-end graphics. All I'm really "asking for" is the mini, if possible, to not be so lacking in a few key areas. Those key areas are the only reasons I see given by people - professional review writers and message board posters alike - as to why they haven't bought one or give it a full "5 out of 5" rating. The eMac (and, I suppose, the low-end, entry model iMac G5) serve as that $1,000-ish "mid-range desktop". I don't think a third model needs to swoop i there! |

I wouldn't even need the faster hard drive, just a more recent gpu (5200 or higher, no pref on ram) and either 512mb base ram or two ram slots. I'd have to buy one
