The Mac Mini was first released in 2005 and was followed by several updated versions. In October of 2008, major retailers in Europe were told to expect no more shipments of the Mac Mini, leading some to suggest that the computer was being phased out of Apple's lineup.Gizmodo: Apple Stops Mac Mini Shipments to Retailers...(October 21, 2008)
