    Where's the Mac Mini? And Other Rumor Smashes!

    If Wired, TUAW and Macrumors are independently reporting a Mac Mini is on its way, we know it exists. Evidently, we're just not going to see it at Macworld. So what about other rumors?

    From our original Macworld 2009 rumor roundup, here's the rundown on how all the rumors panned out.


    Came True:
    iLife and iWork '09 (with iWork in the cloud)
    DRM-Free iTunes
    17-inch Macbook Pro

    Didn't Come True:
    New Mac Mini
    Updated 30-inch Cinema Displays

    Didn't Come True Stretches:
    iPod Touch Jumbo/XL/Pro/Netbook/Thing
    iPhone nano
    Home Server
    Snow Leopard Availability
    New iMacs

    Seeing as many of the rumors were an admitted wild shot at best, we'd put the real rumor batting average around .400, even if it's closer to .266 on paper.
