I was waiting for something like this - an article on CNet related to the latest Apple products - to talk about new Mac Mini, the iPod Hi-Fi and the iPod leather Case.

Let's start with the most important one, the Leather Case! This will be the only case in the market that has the Apple logo, unless you don't count bootleg versions in China. Made with french italian leather it will protect your iPod like no other. The best thing is that there isn't a screen or anyway to have control over the iPod. Not everything is bad, here is a good one:

Removing your iPod is a breeze, thanks to an ingenious black ribbon built into the case. Just give it a gentle tug and your iPod slides out gracefully, just enough for you to view the screen or pull it out completely.

Available for the iPod Video, for $99 with free shipping, at The Apple Store

Next comes the iPod Hi-Fi - a white box with good sound. According to PCMag the sound quality and quantity power are much better than the previous Bose SoundDock. If you got a black iPod, don't search for a black Hi-Fi because there isn't one. This baby costs $350 - Read the full review at PCMag | iPod Hi-Fi

To end up this round we got the new Mac Mini featuring their new partners: the Intel Core Solo or Dual Processors. Besides the processors there aren't many big differences from the previous Mini Macs, but well, the upgrade from 2 to 4 USB ports is always good. It's suppose to be four times faster and has the new software - iLive. Mac Mini at Apple | All the specifications.

It costs $599 or $799, depending on the processor you chose.
