Apple's new Mac mini is available in two configurations, one sporting a 1.5GHz Core Solo processor for $599 and one with a 1.67GHz Core Duo processor for $799. Both systems, which mimic the form-factor of their predecessors, include iLife '06, Front Row, and the Apple remote control.

Both configurations feature 2MB of L2 cache, a 667MHz frontside bus, 512MB of RAM, AirPort Extreme, and Bluetooth 2.0. The low-end model packs a 60GB hard drive and combo drive, while the high-end features an 80GB hard drive and SuperDrive. Graphics are powered by Intel's GMA950 processor with 64MB of memory, supporting resolutions up to 1920x1200 but delivering marginal gaming performance. The new Mac mini also packs four USB ports and now features optical minijack digital audio in and out.

iPod Hi-Fi

he iPod Hi-Fi "delivers breathtaking acoustic performance and room-filling sound unlike any other speaker system designed for the iPod," Apple said in a press release. Apple CEO Steve Jobs called the Hi-Fi the reinvention of the home stereo, billing the system as the "first iPod accessory that adds true high-fidelity sound quality to the iPod." The iPod Hi-Fi features an all-in-one design that can be powered either from an international power outlet or by six D-cell batteries. An integrated dock connector, remote control, and standard auxiliary-in mini-jack round out the features. The iPod Hi-Fi is available now for US$349.

Steve Jobs 也在今天發表了由蘋果電腦所設計的 iPod 皮套，與一般常見的 iPod 保護套不同的，這個皮套並不具有顯示窗，所以使用者在需要調控 iPod 時必須把 iPod 自皮套中取出。Apple iPod 真皮套一共有三款，可供 iPod 30G、iPod 60G 以及 iPod nano 使用，每組的價格為美金 $99 元。今天所發表的各項產品均自即日起開始出貨。
