A quick one to point out that Think Secret is scoring a juicy alleged scoop regarding the next evolution of the Mac Mini and its impact on your living room, ahead of MacWorld San Francisco 2006.
Om weighs-in.
#1 Nick Santilli says:Michael Gartenberg has a couple nice thoughts as well - http://weblogs.jupiterresearch.com/analysts/gartenberg/archives/012189.html
BRING IT ON. I’ll be buying one.
#2 Chris Coleman says:I fully intend to buy one if Apple does it right. My girlfriend’s been on my back to get a Tivo, but I’ve been telling her I’d much rather save up for a reasonably priced PC and run MythTV on it. If Apple can give us something good, I’ll go with them instead.
#3 Chris Holland says:bah, as i’ve said before, i just throw all my money wherever The Steve tells me to. Hi my name is Chris Holland and i live in a cardboard box.
#4 k osborne says:I think this is a great idea if Apple can pull it off. Not to mention the cost of the docking station. I was looking for one to adequately offer the high sound quality the iPod offers in headphones into a speaker set and did not find one worth my money. I have a replaytv and a cable dvr box. Both will skip commericals… w/the cable only fast forwarding and the replaytv skipping every 30 seconds. If apple can somehow mirror the replaytv options while mobile the mechanism maybe worth buying instead of a second replay which my husband and I have been contemplating.
#5 mark says:do you think we can expect a new mac mini anytime soon… I want to purchase one and connect it to my 37″ Sharp Aquos, but I’m willing to wait a bit if there might be a new machine coming in the near future… i guesswe missed the expo.
