Apple has just launched a little surprise on people this morning. After taking down the online store for what people were assuming was just the iPhone 4 pre-order availability, the company also threw in a nice little nugget as well; a redesigned Mac Mini.

What do you get? Well, the big one here is an HDMI-out port which will make it so much easier to plug into your TV, which has sort-of been the point of the Mini all along (although there's no Blu-Ray drive available).

You'll also get an NVIDIA GeForce 320M GPU nicked straight from the new 13" MacBook Pro, as well as up to 8GB RAM and a choice of 2.4GHz or 2.66GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors, all packed inside of a tasty new aluminium enclosure which fits in with the company's current industrial design direction.

Prices will start at about £650, and rise from there (with the DVD-drive-less Server version starting at just under £1k), and should be available today if the current issues with their online store are solved.
