I have no idea why people who are willing to buy the apple TV do not consider the mac mini. Linked up to an HDTV and using eye TV it has taken the place of my power guzzling PC, Freeview box, DVD player and Hifi in a single neat package.

What does apple TV do - erm itunes?!!

....low quality video?

..can't think of anything else!

[…] Earlier I mentioned the need for a monitor stand due to setting up the Mac Mini. I had a pretty good idea of what I was looking for — something that would raise up the monitor but allow some space beneath for the diminutive computer. […]

Agreed… I think one way apple could nuke the Mac Mini and still keep me satisfied is to combine it into a future, more powerful iteration of the Apple TV.

The mini is an awesome little computer. No one but Apple really knows how well (or poorly) it sells. Apple never discloses sales figures on minis alone; it only reports mini sales as part of the "consumer desktop" category, which also includes the iMac. This understandably makes people suspicious. Even if it's not a huge seller, though, I hope Apple doesn't do away with it. It may not be inspiring scores of Windows users to "try a Mac" as it was originally intended, but it does inspire an awful lot of Mac users I know to "get another Mac" to use as a media server, desktop counterpart to a laptop, etc. It's hard to say no to a fully-functional computer that almost costs less than an iPhone.
