Home stereo. Reinvented.

• 10:31 am iLounge: Jobs: 40% of all autos sold this year in US will have iPod connectivity as an option.
Now's time to add In the Home. People like to use iPods with groups inside. Problem with these products - stereo products - is that they don't offer home stereo quality.
What is home stereo quality. Audiophiles need a large sound stage. you can hear the performers sounding larger than the speakers. Precise imaging and separation. Each instrument can be heard separately. Third thing is wide frequency range. You want great bass, also be able to hear the highest frequencies. You also want room-filling power without distortion.

• 10:28 am iLounge: Leather iPod cases - black for 5G and nano - $99 each - mid-March.
• 10:25 am MacCentral: Predictably, the new Mac minis also feature iLife 06, Apple's recently refreshed suite of applications that includes iTunes, iPhoto, iDVD, iMovie, GarageBand and iWeb. Also standard is Mac OS X v10.4 "Tiger," a remote control, Front Row, AirPort Extreme, Bluetooth, four USB 2.0 interfaces, FireWire 400, GigaBit Ethernet, DVI video out, and Dolby Digital 5.1 and analog audio in and out.
The entry-level Mac mini system, available starting today, is a 1.5GHz Core Solo system with 667MHz bus, 512MB RAM, 60GB SATA hard drive and "Combo" DVD-ROM/CD-RW drive for $599 -- $100 more than the previous base model.
The 1.67GHz Core Duo-based model features an 80GB SATA internal hard disk and 8x "SuperDrive" that can burn DVDs as well as CD-Rs, for $799.
"Fifty percent of our entire product line is now available with Intel processors, in less than sixty days," said Jobs.

• 10:24 am iLounge: Second model with Core Duo - 1.67, 80GB drive + SuperDrive - $799 Both available today.
• 10:22 am MacCentral:The Mac mini appears physically the same as it did before, but it's 2.5x to 3.2x faster than its predecessor (using the same benchmarks Apple offers for the iMac and MacBook Pro), thanks to the inclusion of the new Intel Core Solo CPU, depending on clock speed. For the Core Duo models, it's 4.8x or 5.5x times faster on those tests.
The updated Front Row application is also being offered to users of other Macs running Front Row -- Jobs is calling it "Front Row with Bonjour," Apple's nomenclature for zero-configuration networking.
• 10:21 am iLounge: Media from any other mac or windows computer running iTunes will be piped over to the Mac mini hooked up to your television set.

• 10:20 am Engadget: 10:17am PT - I guess they forgot to load the content on this mac mini, I guess I'll have to demo a new feature. "Shared music," uses Bonjour, allows devices to communicate seamlessly, and built that into Front Row. (DEMOS FINDING PHIL'S MACBOOK PRO, BROWSING HIS MUSIC FAST. STOPS ON COCAINE BLUES, BIG LAUGH

• 10:18 am iLounge: Shared Photos - Same idea only for photos.
• 10:18 am Engadget: 10:13am PT - As you know, the Mac Mini has always been BYODKM, and it continues to be that way, you can use it without products if you want, looks the best of course, or you can use it with anyone's. Of course you can always hook it up to televisions. It doesn't plug into cellphones though. One of the other things we're adding to the Mac mini is Front Row, which means we have to add a remote control.10:09am PT - Introduced the iMac, doing really well out there, MacBook Pro reviews are off the charts, two of the things helping this transition are universal applications. Rosetta turned out to be much stronger than we thought it would be, running most PowerPC apps. Today we're introducing our third machine, the mac mini based on Intel's Core Solo processor.

• 10:15 am MacCentral: The redesigned Mac mini features gigabit Ethernet, a total of four USB 2.0 ports, analog and SPDIF audio outputs and more.
"And, of course, you can also hook it up to televisions," Jobs told the audience. It's been widely speculated that Apple might use today's event to introduce a Mac model with better home entertainment integration.
The new Mac mini, like its iMac sibling, features Front Row, an application that makes it possible to view movies, listen to audio, watch music videos and more from your Mac, in full-screen, using an infrared remote control from across the room. The Mac mini now sports an infrared sensor in the front of the Mac min, next to the machine's optical disk drive slot.
As demonstrated by Jobs, Front Row now has a new feature -- the ability to support shared music libraries accessible through iTunes. So using Front Row, you can listen to the contents of other machines running iTunes on the same subnetwork.
• 10:15 am MacCentral: Jobs introduced the new Intel-based Mac mini, Apple's low-cost consumer desktop system. The base model features an Intel Core Solo CPU -- a single-processor, single-core CPU.
