Apple Planning New “Mini” Laptop/Palmtop?

Don’t Sue Us For Telling You Dept: Here’s an interesting news item from O’Grady’s PowerPage. Looks like the Mini may be the fist part of a whole new Mini product strategy. Here’s what they had to report:

”Remember Apple's eMate 300 from the early nineties? (nicknamed "Eat Me" by developers). It was a kind of Batman green and a fab little flat lap Newton. The PowerPage EU bureau has been beamed some details of a secret development team planning specifications for the release of a new mini laptop. (It goes well with their current mini theme. -Ed). Deep in the Apple cave these slim little mini pocketops are doing the rounds and getting a lot of great feedback. Sources who claim to have seen one have commented that an internal planning spec details that the new machine runs a stripped-down flavour of Mac OS X. We're told that it will finally utilize Apple's Inkwell technology to "write anywhere" and neatly fold into your pocket - rather like an enlarged Motorola RAZR V3 mobile phone with a keyboard.” Source: O’Grady’s PowerPage

And if you didn't see this earlier, the Mac Mini will soon be available in different colors from ColorWare for $99. That's a lot of $$$ for a paint job, but if you have to have it in Blaze or Carbon, at least you have options.
