"Even while at the top of its game, Apple Inc. can seemingly find faults with just about anything, including a bit of itself. The Mac maker is constantly evaluating the market segments in which it wishes to participate and those which it does not. It's an application of love-hate methodology that inevitably produces its share of casualties." AppleInsider says it has learned from 'reliable' sources that the end is nigh for the Mini. "Ladies and gentlemen, AppleInsider believes in all sincerity that the Mini is dead."

From what I see, most people see the Mini as a "toy" computer, not a "serious" computer. And families with childs wants "serious" computers so they can learn to live in this computer world. That's what being a parent means :-)
Apple could easily enter such a market if they really want to, just by making a computer that looks "serious" like the MacPros, just cheaper and smaller. I think that an headless 1000 USD/EUR Mac could become a best seller: put a Core 2 Duo, with a standard optical drive, an hard disk, and a mid-level video card into a stylish minitower cabinet and you will conquer the world (with good profit too).
The question is: do they want this?
