It comes bundled with EyeTV 2 software for watching analog television on a Mac. Other features include recorded video export to an iPod; watch, pause, rewind and skip forward live television; burn television programs and VCR tapes to DVDs; and an included remote control.

Apple is planning a new version of the Mac mini using the M4 chip, according to reports from Bloomberg.

It seems there will be two versions of the new Mac mini, one with the standard M4 chip and one with an M4 Pro chip that has yet to be announced. Like other Pro chips, it's expected that the M4 Pro will support additional memory and enhanced graphic performance.
