If you jump on it right away you might end up swaping like with the 01's

2d, the reality is all this is speculation and rumor at this point...we'll know for sure once His Steveness makes his pronouncements at MacWorld in January....while a MacBook Mini would be great, I think if anything it will be a MacBook Thin...

What I'd really like to see is a MacBook Mini Convertible TabletPC style unit with touchscreen and full handwriting support, etc...

One can dream.....

Recent Blog: MeanSquare's Review of the Sony UX (with comparison to OQO)

12/20/07 + tnkgrl

@MeanSquare I tried OS X (Tiger) on my Asus Eee, but it's a dead-end with some critical hardware not working (WiFi) and no support for software update - same thing with OS X on my 10" Averatec 1050 2 years ago...

I'm enjoying several real Macs at home and I want Apple's level of polish in an ultra-portable - I hope MacWorld 2008 will deliver but I'm sick of waiting!

MeanSquare this is a very good find, although since wi-fi doesn't work (and several other thigns that lend themselves to a portable pc) it would seem that using osx on your ux would effectively end your mobile days. Unless DUN through Bluetooth works, but still seems kind of limited. Still very awesome.

tnkgrl you hit the nail right on the head for me. I don't mind OS X as an operating system in many ways I like it a lot, especially in a creative vein, but I don't want it over windows or linux for example. I do't want to be locked into an OS. I do however love apple's polish. Their gear is great. I drowl everytime I go into an apple store. I would love to have something portable from Apple that will run whatever OS I throw at it.
