Apple's Mac mini will be reborn as the digital hub centerpiece it was originally conceived to be, sources have disclosed. The new Mac mini project, code-named Kaleidoscope, will feature an Intel processor and include both Front Row 2.0 and TiVo-like DVR functionality. While the specific model and speed of the Intel processor in the new Mac mini is unknown, sources are confident the system will be ready for roll-out at Macworld Expo San Francisco, in line with other reports Think Secret has received that Intel-based Macs will be ready some six months sooner than originally expected.

I dont know what people complain about :-)
My Powerbook will be 2 years old this January - it still kicks behind, I can run Front Row on it, I use Salling Clicker for remote operation, I use it as my defacto DVD player, and I run windows on it (be it sluuuugishly).
I think it will be a long time before I replace this puppy 
I know people STILL using pre-titanium powerbooks (with OS 9) in their regular day-to-day lives.

Same here except I need the faster HDD. I do hope they put a better video chip in the new mini. There are all kinds of screen tearing issues with many of the current crop (especially mine) when running through a KVM.
Oh yea, stay away from the Belkin DVI/USB KVM if you have a mini. I had mine replaced by Belkin and it still wouldn't stop tearing. I got a Gefen KVM and it works fine.

My Rev. A Mac Mini and 12" iBook G4 are already feeling old. :-(
Come January, they'll be replaced by much faster, more feature-filled models. Anyone else want to join in on the crying? Heh.
