No, You May Not Order Your Mac minis (Updated)
I work for a company that goes through a lot of Mac minis. A lot of minis. A couple hundred a month.
Well, today we called to place our order for our next big batch of minis and we were told “We’re not able to take large orders for Mac minis right now.” And that was it.
At first, my boss got a little upset because we do this all the time. But, I reminded him of a certain Apple Event scheduled for Feb. 28th planned for some “fun new products from Apple.” That calmed him a bit.
So, it seems that you can order the current minis one by one, but not in bulk. This makes me believe that we’ll be seeing the first Intel Mac mini…and it certainly won’t be this ridiculous cube.
Update: This has now been confirmed by a post on AppleInsider. Of course, I could have been the blogger that they referenced in the post. If that is the case then I believe we have just entered the rumor Infinite Loop.

[...] C’è chi dice che il migliore in cui cercare cosa ha in serbo Apple, sono i suoi magazzini. Ed Apple Insider, come alcuni blogger, sostiene che la Mela stia rifiutando ogni richiesta di quantitativi ingenti di questi sistemi. Sullo store online non si indicano ritardi, infatti si tratterebbe di un rifiuto rivolto solo a grandi negozi, con esigenze forti ma anche abituali. [...]

[...] Dat Apple binnen het half jaar een vernieuwde Mac Mini op de markt zou brengen met een Intel processor, wist iedereen wel. Maar nu komt het moment dat de kleinste telf van de Apple familie een Intel processor gaat krijgen wel heel dichtbij. Zeker nadat ene Brian van FreeMacBlog op zijn site meldt, dat Apple geen grote aanvragen van de Mac Mini meer aanneemt. [...]
