Matts iPod News

So Apple had their big announcements today...nothing really that extraordinary unfortunately, although the Mac Mini's are getting pretty desirable!

Basically there are three product announcements here:

1. Mini's have been updated to use the new Intel chipsets
2. A semi-portable HiFi system was released
3. A leather iPod case was revealed

A bit ho-hum really. No way I'd buy an Apple HiFi system (WTF? Give me a Denon or some other reliable-brand surround sound system puh-lease) or the leather case though the Mini is looking more attractive all the time. If they'd only add DVR capabilities to it I'd buy in an instant.

Anyway, as always Gizmodo and Engadget covered the news very well.
