Well, the jitterati came, they saw, they blogged in real-time till their servers got hosed. The Apple New Products Press Event is wrapping up as we speak at Apple’s Cupertino Campus. Here’s what Chairman Jobs had to hawk:<\/p>\n
* New Mac Mini with a Single Core Intel Processor, Gigabyte Ethernet, four USB 2 ports, analog and SPDIF input and output. Added FrontRow and Remote Control. 1.5GHz Intel Core Solo, 512MB RAM, 60GB hard drive, Combo Drive. US$599.<\/p>\n
* New Mac Mini with Dual Core Processor. 1.67GHz Core Duo, 512MB RAM, 80GB drive Super Drive. Same other specs. $799<\/p>\n
* “Bonjour” (revamped, renamed “Rendezvous” networking software) for streaming iTunes app — allows you to stream iTunes content over local network via FrontRow.<\/p>\n
* Hook the Mac Mini to your TV and you can listen to and view all of the media stored on your home network. The beginnings of a move toward a home entertainment computer, but still no resident TV card.<\/p>\n
* O-fficial iPod Leather cases (for US$100!). Yawn.<\/p>\n
* iPod Boombox (iPod HiFi). Whatever.<\/p>\n
And, that’s that. All the wild speculation, about an touchscreen iPod, Apple TV, 17″ MacBook Pro, etc. will remain in the wild, at least for now.<\/p>\n
