You've heard it many times before, you'll probably hear it again. The Mac Mini is dead. So says some European retailers who were told by Apple that there weren't any more en route to be sold. Could there be other reasons for this? Sure.
I think the reason that the constant falsely reported rumors of the Mac Mini's demise are so popular are because consumers want more choice in this area. How about a midrange Mac? Not a pro, book, mini or iMac. Just a Mac.
This would also put a big dent in the so-called clone market that Psystar is giving Apple legal a headache about.
