Apple may have a smaller-footprint, sub-$1000 notebook in the works after all, despite COO Tim Cook's poo-pooing of typical netbooks during last week's quarterly earnings call. Why do we say that? A reference to a computer model identified as a "MacBookMini" has shown up in stat logs for the Mac OS X chat client Adium X.

You may recall that just before the MacBook Air was launched at Macworld Expo in January 2008, a reference to "MacBookAir" was found in Adium's stat logs. One occurrence does not a trend make, but the evidence turned up by a TUAW reader once again seems plausible enough to suggest another miniature device may be launched soon.

Seems a bit typical of Apple. Competitor's product is classified as bad by Apple, then Apple launches a competitor that is in the same category, but they insist it isn't like their competitor's product.

Ed, your pathetic, you cant even code the scraping bot to remove the links to arstechnica.

Not just the Mini, looks like Apple are going to blitz us with Teh_Hacks, BigMac, Lenovo reModelFaMacBookAir
and the Mac Pronc.

Oh, wait, you can change the identifier? Thanks quinielascom :-)
