Apple Media Event : New, Fun Products

Watching the live commentry.

18:11 Yay! New Mac Mini! I’m having one of them.

18:15 SPDIF audio output. Hook up to television. Front Row with shared iTunes. I’m in heaven.

18:40 iPod HiFi. I can save myself $349 here, I don’t need one of these.

18:47 Wow, that was quick – it’s over. It was brief, but it delivered the goods. Now that’s the way to do it! I’m off to buy a Mac Mini….

  1. So…have you got one? Which one is it? We need details! I think you can afford the core duo version with superdrive if you throw in the $349 (£249) you saved by not buying the iPod HiFi.

  2. It comes down to noise! This machine’s got to be my home entertainment sources – maybe even my only one, if the DVD playback is good enough, now there’s SPDIF out. So it’s got to be damn near silent in normal operation. If the core duo is as quiet as the core solo it’s got to be the one. If I get the solo, I think I’d have to get a SuperDrive anyway.

    So come on people, let’s see those reviews and hear about how quiet it is…
