MacBook Mini On the Way?

Big rumor today by way of AppleInsider. The story goes that Apple is currently prepping a sub-notebook effort aimed at extremely portable computing. The new system, which I think should be called the MacBook Mini, will have a significantly reduced footprint, use NAND memory and not have an optical drive on-board.
This has the potential to be a great device. I’ve often wished for an efficient sub-notebook for writing on the go, but have been wholly unimpressed by PC offerings. If Jobs and pals can pull this off, I might be in the market for one more Mac.
If it gels in the fashion currently proposed, we should be seeing the MacBook Mini around mid-year during WWDC. Also, this current rumor makes me wonder if perhaps there is some overlap with the MacBook Thin rumors we heard earlier this year.

Are you really that underwhelmed by Windows offerings? I mean there are all those great Panasonics over at dynamism.com, and they have been around for years. If I was to ever go back to buying Windows computers, that is the way to go…

The problem with Windows offerings is that they run Windows.
I hope this rumor is true, but since I’ve been waiting for 8 years for a subnotebook or tablet Mac I’m not going to hold my breath.
