While waiting for Apple Store to get their s— in gear so I can pre-order the iPhone for J, I’m reading that lost in the hoopla, Apple also snuck in an update to the Mini. Personally I love Mini’s – small, compact, and powerful for the price, but these new updates throw it over the top.

Amongst them include an upgraded enclosure to unibody aluminum – much beefier than the plastic job my old one has. And the body has a new panel on the base giving it access to the memory slots. Plus they’ve added HDMI which makes it soooo much easier to connect it up with my HDTV (rather than having to put the MBP flipped open right next to it).

But of course the killer one that caught my attention – not because I am so into the 3D idea but simply because of iStream’s involvement with it – is the addition of Nvidia GeForce 320M graphics, one of the foundations for Nvidia’s 3D Vision. Killer.
