When the Mac Mini was launched back in January, Steve Jobs heralded it as the ideal jumping on point for PC users who were considering switching to Apple -- all you needed to do was add in a keyboard, mouse and monitor.

A few reviewers spotted the potential for the budget-priced desktop as a media hub -- in particular, as a networked PVR.

Today Think Secret reports that the new Mini is set for roll-out at Macworld Expo San Francisco and will sport a built-in iPod dock, an Intel processor and include both Front Row 2.0 and TiVo-like DVR functionality.

Details are sketchy on the DVR application, but Think Secret's sources claim it has been dubbed a "TiVo-killer."
