| Please don't kill Apple please don't kill the Mac Mini! when the AppleTV finally dies out just roll the AppleTV functions into the Mini and up the price about $125. Make it HD capable with a HDMI port and it will be a hit.

| Apple won't. Apple won't transform the Mac mini into media center and Apple won't ditch the AppleTV. Both will be significantly upgraded after the new iPhone season is over, I would suppose just before Xmas.

| 1.) The Apple TV isn't dying imho. The more Apple reaches people with iTunes media, the more sense Apple TV makes. They'll continue to upgrade its features and it'll not directly compete with the Mac mini as a cheap desktop computer. 2.) The Mac mini doesn't go away. It's there to lure people into Mac desktop computing. Most people lured in by the price will try to mix & match the features they want and then decide to get the cheapest iMac instead. (That's the experience I make as an Apple reseller.) It just doesn't get the attention "required", Mac mini fans think. The thing is: Apple doesn't want it to get too much attention. It'll get an upgrade or something, sometime this year still, but it won't be spectacular. Just an opinion...
