"If you lamented the absence of media center features in Apple's first Mac Mini, lament no more. Announced yesterday, the $799 Apple Mac Mini Core Duo features not only the new dual-core, 1.66GHz Intel Core Duo processor, it also comes with Apple's Front Row media management software, Apple's remote control, and new network media-streaming capabilities. If it lives up to its promises, you'll be able to send iTunes media over your home network and to your television, via an attractive, low-profile piece of hardware."
The new features and super sleek form factor make this in to a compelling media center type device. A tuner and some DVR software would make it even better while HD support would really put it over the top.
