Mini Mac for $499 USD. F&*CKING AMAZING !
Apple releases a cheap MAC for a low price of $499 USD. The most amazing thing is the size of that computer - it's as small as a toaster, yet contains a cd-rom, 40gb hard drive, ethernet card, modem etc.. Fuckin' AMAZING !
Apple also unveiled a cheap flash based version of iPod(1GB capacity) for $149 USD
All I can say is BRAVO !

for an entry level machine the spec is more than adequate and certainly better than some of the pc's offered at that price

This is very entry level.
VERY.
This is the sort of thing aimed at families who just want to do word processing or surf the web for midget hermaphrodite porn or whatever.
As for the new iPod Shuffle, I think they're pretty kickin' rad. No LCD screen though. $129 CDN for the 512MB version, and probably $179 or $189 for the 1GB, so not bad.
I'll stick with my PC and my 3rd-gen iPod though.

I'll be laughing when I replace my dead 15GB HDD with an 80GB, and you're stuck with 1GB max.

That machine looks amazing, man Apple knows how to design incredible "things"...I'm really interested in getting a powerbook while i'm at school cause then I'll get it cheaper but still contemplating because it's still $$$...either way design wise noone comes close, and that little thing is SEXI!
