OK, so the Apple Mac Mini is looking cool, still. But instead of the price coming down, they are trying to march into the living room? What happened to being a transition to the world of Apple? Focus Jobs, Focus!

Well, looks like I didn’t miss any world-changing announcements at this morning’s Steve Jobs non-keynote at Apple headquarters. My colleague Narasu made the trek to Cupertino and reports in here on the news, which includes Intel-based Mac Minis, an iPod speaker dock, and leather iPod cases.

A few quick thoughts:

Mac Minis are getting pricier, not cheaper. Which is not what you expect to happen with computers. But even though the base Mini is now $599 rather than $499, it should be a much more powerful machine, with more standard features. And a costlier, more potent Mini may be a reflection of what people have actually been buying–perhaps it’s the machine’s size (and the fact that it’s a Mac) rather than its price that’s appealing. (Let’s face it–if cheap is what you want, Windows boxes still beat anything with an Apple logo on it.) Source: PC World
