I'm curious what you use a Mini for that another model wouldn't work better for?
I keep a mini under the TV. I hardly ever watch TV but do like to download some old series from time to time and that way I leave the mini on and turn off my Mac Pro when not in use. I'm into photography and when I want to upload a whole days' worth I use the SD slot on the back of the mini. Even without looking it goes in really easy and I suspect that will be the same with the iMac.

I hate the fact that the iPad doesn't include a Mini SD card just for that purpose, dongles and adapters suck. Plus the lack of external HDD support and a file-manager adds to my frustrations, my Canon 5D take very large pictures and it would be nice to able to offload the pics somewhere else other then the tablet. Could I use a wireless HDD and the Canon Wireless Transmitter at the same time? Maybe that is a solution.

I don't like dongles either, but am not bothered by the lack of a SD slot on the iPad. Sometimes I use the CCK, sometimes I transfer wireless.
Oh that's to cool for school, at 40 bucks its not to bad either. I wonder if it can handle RAW.
The Pro version does, but going over WiFi (peer to peer OR through a AP) is slow. Works, but slow. That's why I set my D7000 to shoot RAW in slot 1 and put the jpg on the card in slot 2.
