No Built-in iPod Docks in the Intel Mac mini?

I for one am glad it wont have one. Just incase a video iPod does come out and then that iPod may not fit in the connector if it has a different input.

or if it is on the elongated side while the connector is for the short side

im so happy about this, i don't know why Apple would flaw their own design by making some crap like an iPod dock stick out of one of their most beautiful machines..:)

I think there are more important features to worry about myself, such as DVR-functionality and the like. Although a dock would be handy, it does bring up issues regarding future-proofing for new iPods. Hopefully this machine will be impressive enough that this doesn't become a major issue.

Just how much is gunna be released in "two months time"??

built-in iPod dock = whatever

What about the DVR?????

Agreed - I think a dock would most likely compromise the sleek design of the mini. Not that that's the main reason they shouldn't include it, but it is defintely something to consider when Apple relies so much on the aesthetics of their products. :cool:

New iPods, new Mac minis, new displays, new iBooks and the remainder of the MacBook Pro line.

You asked. :p :cool:

I for one don't give a damn about DVR functions. Over here in the UK if you want all the channels you get satellite and the only way to record all of the channels is to use a special Sky+ box provided by the satellite network. PVR functions would be useless and would drive up the cost.

I want an Intel Mac Mini and nothing else. The same as the current one but with up-rated parts. Intel processor, 512 standard, X1300, 7200RPM drive, same looks, same everything else, bluetooth and wireless standard and most importantly, SAME PRICE. If they want to make a PVR then go and make a seperate PVR device or a Mac specifically designed for that, don't ruin and add bulk to an already existing product line.

I agree, this is a good thing - the Mini would look so wrong with a big dint in the top. It is also not an important feature for the many people who don't have iPods.

My thoughts exactly. I believe this to be further proof of a different form factor iPod.

GIMME MY vPOD GOSHDARNIT APPLE! :mad: :D

Couldn't agree more. With the MacMini paired with Eyegato (sp?) and the new "true video" iPod, this combination would be incredible.
