When you consider Apple's innovative history, smallness has been one of the driving style features. Considering that the Mac Mini (it could be argued), effectively filled the gap left by the Cube from a few years before; it wouldn't surprise me in the least, to find that Apple will introduce a slimmer model Mac Mini to replace the current one. My bet, is that it will have the same dimensions as the iTV (Apple TV) and will thus act as a natural addition to that product. It makes sense from the perspective, that the Apple TV, while very good, does not have DVD function or more importantly, computer function.
