As well as launching the Apple iPhone 4 pre-order pages this morning, Apple [AAPL] also updated the Mac Mini with a new model.
The Mac Mini has been completely redesigned and has up to twice the graphic performance along with a new HDMI post and an SD card slot.
The casing is now aluminium and a unibody with prices starting at $699.
“The sleek, aluminum Mac mini packs great features, versatility and value into an elegant, amazingly compact design,” said Philip Schiller, Apple’s senior vice president of Worldwide Product Marketing. “With twice the graphics performance, HDMI support and industry-leading energy efficiency, customers are going to love the new Mac mini.”
After a week or so of waiting, Apple [AAPL] has now added the iPhone 4 to it’s store. The price with no contract is £499 for the 16GB model and £599 for the 32GB model.

Someone has managed to modify a Palm Touchstone wireless charger and Palm Pre back plate and make the necessary parts inside function in the HTC EVO 4G. The system allows the EVO 4G to charge by just resting the phone on the Touchstone charger.
One of the biggest features of the iPhone 4 from Apple [AAPL] is the new screen used which they call the Retina Display. The retina display has four times the amount of pixels when compared to the older iPhone models. This, according to Apple, makes it impossible to see the individual pixels when using the device at a normal distance away from your eyes.
The JooJoo tablet launched a few months back. The launch didn’t appear to go down too well due to delays and a buggy UI it was running. One user has decided to customise his JooJoo and install Windows 7 on to the tablet.
