My thinking was to eliminate Windows(I need iTunes for iPhone). I also wanted to have a small media centre system. I also wanted to learn about developing applications for iPhone. I am surprised at how powerful it is. Even so I am probably going to throw in a new hard drive and add more memory.

The thing that drives me crazy about it are the lack of keyboard shortcuts. In Windows or Linux I can use the system without a mouse with a Mac I can’t… Yet. The other thing that is annoying is when switching programs it only has the application and not all the windows of that program.

I was wondering if you can do 4 GB of RAM with the new Mac Mini. I have read conflicting reports online about that. The Core 2 Duo is 64-Bit but is Leopard on the Mac Mini? I’m thinking that the people who can’t get more than 3 gigs and change are on the mac mini with just a core duo.
