| Apple should make the HUB and Media card reader and retail them for around $50.00. |

50 bucks for a card reader would be a tuff sell. |

Indeed, I paid for a cheapie one something of $ 10.00. Maybe a combo: cardreader/usb/firewire hub?

Apple doesn't recommend stacking things on top of the mini. So would they go ahead and make these type accessories? It may also hamper AE signal strength. AE signal strength has been reported to be weak anyways. Perhaps and external antenna jack would be good idea?
"Always place your Mac mini on a hard, flat surface to provide maximum airflow to the computer's vents around the rubber base. Don't put anything on top of your Mac mini or stack Mac minis on top of each other either. If your Mac mini is configured with AirPort or Bluetooth, you could hamper the signal strength since the antennas are located in the top of the computer. "

I started a thread on here talking about Airport Extreme. I recently ordered my mini with the internal card so I'm hoping the range is better than I've been reading about. Apple would never re-tool the mini for an external antenna jack. |
