It was declared from a reliable source of the Apple Insider last year that the production of the Mac Mini or any other developments for this device will be put to a halt. But three months after that news break, it was announced by the Cupertino company that they will be releasing drop-ins of the product with an Intel Core2 Duo as its processor. The news (or rumor) site says that it is just an add in and no engineering was required for the added processor.But in a recent post last March 21 says that:
Among the improvements destined for the new lineup are 45-nanometer Core 2 Duo mobile chips starting at 2.1GHz with 3MB of shared L2 cache, an 800MHz front-side bus (up from 667MHz), and a step up to the same Intel GMA X3100 integrated graphics processor employed by the existing line of 13-inch consumer MacBooks.
With this news, it seems that all system in terms of engineering and production will be put in full steam.From: http://arstechnica.com/journals/apple.ars/2008/03/21/rumor-new-mac-mini-in-development

With the new 3G iPhone announced for release by Apple in the next couple of months and the FCC’s approval of their product, the new 3G capable iPhone is giving users and gadget lovers the power to browse the intern et on the go a feature lacking in the initial model. The older iPhone was thicker, heavier and had less capabilities but many are crying foul with the lack of new innovations on the newer release. They have called it a totally newer product with a different packaging but the same overall features in terms of software and other capabilities except of course for the 3G capability.
The Apple iPhone has long been on the list of “wants” for all gadget lovers especially in the many major city’s of the world who were disappointed with the initial gadget’s release. Apple has said that they are in the process of developing more applications and features for later models and that updates would be offered from their website. The new iPhone allows you to go directly to the Apple online store to purchase content, a feature previously unavailable with the older unit that had to be uploaded through a separate PC.
Apple has invested a lot in their gadgets (iPods, iPod’s and others) that they have had to put up new manufacturing facilities just to make them in opposition to the approach of other companies who tend to develop development around their existing facilities to save cost. Their gamble into the new iPhone has been advertised as their drive to take the iPhone into the hands of the masses who previously cannot afford their products. Just hope they make it for the global economy is slowing and it would only be time before it hits home.
