Apple "Fun New Products" Event Coverage

by , 12:05 PM EST, February 28th, 2006

Apple is announcing what it describes as "Fun new products" at a special media event in Cupertino at 10:00a.m. Pacific time today. Although live coverage of the event isn't permitted, TMO will have our editor-in-chief, Bryan Chaffin on site, and we'll provide near-live coverage, including updates and photographs, as soon as possible.

Apple distributed media invitations to a special event to be held at its world headquarters in Cupertino, inviting journalists to attend the unveiling of new products. There is no official word on what Apple plans to announce, but speculation ranges from the usual Apple-branded phone, to Intel-based Mac minis, and on to full-length movie downloads at the iTunes Music Store.

Seeing as how the event started about 4 minutes before you posted, I'd say "relax." You'll probably have to wait 'till it's over.

and the intel mac mini is an insult to anyone's intelligence.

It's $800 for the core duo model. By the time you add a screen and keyboard and mouse, it's going to cost MORE than an iMac.

Especially for a model you can't even open for service.

There is no PC user alive that is going to pay $800 for this.

I will. I have a need for a bottom end, get on the web and e-mail computer and can see a Mini in my future. I have a monitor, keyboard and mouse already so there will be minimal extra cost. Oh and you can open the Mac Mini for service;
