Apple Movie Junkie

You’ve heard rumours of the iMac redesign and now the dwindling inventories of iMacs and Mac Minis.  A refresh of the Mac Mini is imminent.

I’m going to go speculate that the Mac Mini refresh may be the start of a convergence with the Apple TV.  I’m not here to suggest Apple will include TV tuner or capture/record capabilities as this could distract users away from their cash cow iTunes Store for content.  However, as a media playback device, the Apple TV is missing the ability to play my existing DVD collection.  The Mac Mini could become Apple TVs big brother for Apple TV Juinkies that want to de-clutter by eliminating their tradditional DVD player.   A ‘pro’ version of the Apple TV, if you will.

Sound off in the comments and let us know what you think.
