Apple announced two ‘amazing’ new products at Macworld today! They never cease to amaze, although I still reserve judgement on the nasty iMac.

First up is the Mac mini. It’s a Mac, but it’s mini. Basically it’s a miniture Mac base unit. So… if you already have a PC with USB keyboard, mouse and DVI or VGA monitor, then you’ve got everything you need to get started. It starts at just �339! Flog a few more bits on eBay and I could be on my way to my first Mac.

Next up is the iPod shuffle, although I reckon a Capcom Streetfighter inspired tag of ‘Super iPod mini’ woulda worked just as well, then the 1Gb model coulda been called the ‘Super iPod mini turbo edition’.

The iPod shuffle does away with all the cleverness and keeps things simple. You load your tracks, it shuffles them. Not entirely sure how that might work out but it could be kinda cool I think, and for only �69 I could well bring myself to snap one up as soon as just for the hell of it. :)
