Gruber predicting 'Mac Mini Server' and 'Trackpad device' tomorrow

As reported over the weekend, it looks like we might have an announcement tomorrow. Daring Fireball’s John Gruber is throwing his predictions into the ring:

…Redesigned Plastic MacBooks, Redesigned (‘Impressive’) iMacs, Updated Minis (Including One That Ships With Mac OS X Server), the Multi-Touch Magic Mouse, and, as the Wildcard Out-There Rumor, Maybe Even Some Sort of Mentioned-Nowhere-Else-But-in-This-Very-Headline Multi-Touch Trackpad Gadget for Desktop Macs That Apple Is Set to Release Tomorrow Morning

Mostly rehashed, but a few new items from here:

  • Mac Mini Server (will it be a new OS for the rest of us? Or will it be standard OSX Server for small companies that don’t need an Xserve?).  Lots of people use these already so not a huge surprise.  $999 pricepoint is our guess.  Apple is already selling Minis for $499.
  • ‘Magic Mouse’ New name, multi-touch surface on top has been talked about already plenty.
  • Multi-touch trackpad for desktops (which would seem to negate the above?)  Seems more in the wild guess category but certainly something we’d be interested in.  Tune in tomorrow morning.
