"Apple makes most of its money off iPods and iTMS."Apple makes virtually all of its profit on iPods. iTMS' contribution to Apple's profits is like a drop in bucket.

This is a nonstory. Who really cares about PPC architecture anymore. Why doesn't Apple spend their energy getting us a new Intel Yonah Powerbook by Macworld in January, 2006?

"Im sorry but I still think Mac minis are still a little to overpriced."True dat.I'm waiting for the intel flip. This upgrade is probably happening because Apple can't find anymore of the lowend parts.

There is a guy in this thread over at mac rumors that got his mini mac last week and it turned out to be one of the new ones. It does come with 64 megs of video ram on the GPU but still not core image. Lame.<a class="user" href="http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=150629&page=1&pp=25">http://forums.macrumors.com/showthread.php?t=150629&page=1&pp=25</a>

until the Intel version of the Mac Mini I really don't care...but when the Intel version is out I'll be among the first to buy...

It's worthless to get any Mac right now... wtih the switch coming underway. Besides, minis are a bit overpriced for what you get (at the moment.)
