New Mac Mini?
What I would really like to see is an Apple TV2, but there seems nothing on the horizon.
However, is the new Mac Mini a realistic alternative? Clearly it would address many of the above, and now HD movies are generally available in iTunes, this isn't the problem it once was (ie before you could only get them on the ATV).
But how useable is a Mac as a idiot-proof media server? Is it a realistic option to use it in my lounge with only an Apple remote (no keyboard), and simply play music and movies? I am not a Mac user so have no experience of Front Row, so I don't know how easy this might be. All of the technical advantages of the Mac are useless to me if I can't use it like I use my ATV.
Has anyone here gone down the ATV to Mac Mini route?
