Seattle Post-Intelligencer: AP - High-Tech: "SAN FRANCISCO -- Apple Computer Inc. chief executive Steve Jobs unveiled a very small $499 computer on Tuesday and a flash memory-based music player called the iPod Shuffle.
The new products seek to make inroads against the traditionally more affordable PC market and against lower-cost competitors to Apple's wildly popular iPod.
The Mini Mac computers, smaller than even some standalone external computer drives, go on sale Jan. 22. They lack a monitor, mouse and keyboard. The 40-gigabyte Mini Mac will cost $499, an 80-gigabyte model $599.
'People who are thinking of switching will have no more excuses,' Jobs said during a keynote speech at Macworld and Expo. 'It's the newest and most affordable Mac ever.'"
