The bright lining to the missing mini is that maybe they have to wait for the next round of processors from Intel. That would mean even better minis when they do get upgraded. (Alert: unwarranted optimism detected) If I had to roll out a mini now I'd be of two minds: 1) take the price down so people will buy even in a depressed economy. 2) leave the price on the theory that the cost sensitive will buy horrible low end machines for $100 less anyway. If you choose 1 and the economy starts to rebound you have shot your profits for product lifetime. Maybe it is best to wait and see how the next month or two plays out before committing to an 18 month product cycle.
