What they think the shape will be?
or
What they think the shape should be?
Which question do you want people to vote on:
What they think the shape will be?
or
What they think the shape should be?
the poll is about your choice (and what Apple should do)
.
I think they should put it in the base of a lava lamp...
Set the lamp up to be the Minis heat sink and the action in the lava would vary with the load on the CPU. Neat!

I also don't think the pocket size is possible due to the chips that have to go onto a motherboard. Plus there still needs sufficient cooling if it's going to be more powerful.
I would say the pocket size isn't possible and the slim one is only possible without the optical drive.
I actually think the original size is ok and it doesn't need to be any smaller. The cooling is only just sufficient as it is.
In fact, I'm going to go so far to say that they'll never put any kind of card reader into their systems. They're not the most attractive things, and Apple is all about the aesthetics.
And I really don't think B would leave adequate room for all the ports + exhaust, power button, etc. It does look kinda cooler though.
Honestly, I think they got it right the first time. So, I'm going with the classic.
I vote none of the designs shown. Let's get Apple to design something original. A plain plastic box just does not do it anymore. I want something that can easily change the Ram without voiding the warranty.
I think that A circular/cylinder shaped Mac Mini would be awesome.
I've updated my blog's post with a 4th version/proposal and its concept's image:
D) "Pocket + Docking Station" same dimensions of a mini but sliced in two modules
(still "C" to vote in the poll)

Here you go:
beautiful concept, but not "exactly" a "mini" nor a "pocket sized" mac...
.
Stick a quad cpu in it with a 4850 for a price below £995 and I would buy it and be happy.
I think the mini if it gets smaller may as well be the Apple TV... which would be a merging of concept. The true 'Mac Mini' will be the Mac Slate/Touch if it ever turns up.
Which leaves plenty of room for the Mac Cube/X-Mac that I and others want.

I just did a quick and crappy mockup of what im hoping the new mac mini would look like
