New Mini or other new macs coming out soon?

I plan on getting 2 mac mini's. As well, my wife plans to get a imac.
Well a few days ago when i started posting inquiring on the mac mini
another person responded saying that I should hold off, a new mac mini
is around the corner. They said it was on macrumors.com so I figured
maybe it's just that, a rumor. Well then I contacted a company early
this morning to inquire about what they offer for mac mini's
(configurations, etc). this was in email and their response was they
would like to talk to me further about it but that they were just
informed that a new mac mini is coming out in the future. Well I
haven't called them yet but will shortly and will post here what I find
out. To me now it seems likely because I was ready to buy but yet they
seem to want to warn me to hold off.
I like the mini but my only concern is the small amount of memory but
yet upgraded to 2 gigs it's fine. As for hard drive, I think 120 gigs
is enough but more would be nice. My biggest concern is the processor.
I'd like at least closer to 2 ghz. I don't even care if the case is a
little larger so I'm hoping maybe it's a higher speed model (1.88 or
higher). As well, with the new memron chips coming out I wonder if
Apple will start slowly moving their lines over to that. I would
imagine the lower power would pay off in laptops and it would start
there and later move to the other systems.
As a side note, is there any talk of a new imac around the corner?
Since my wife plans to buy one soon I'm interested in that as well.
Also, any new 'series' of macs. What I mean is for me, I dont' have a
lot of desk space and I already have a Windows XP machine on my desk so
for me the mac mini seemed great. I can get a switchbox and share the
monitor. As for my wife, she has far more room and probably will
initially require a more powerful machine. Since she doensn't have a
monitor the imac seems great for her. Eventually we may want a
notebook but we don't want one yet. It just seems like it's a large
step going from a imac to a mac pro. The mac pro is great but out of
my price range. I just wish there was a imac without a monitor in a
sense or either a scaled down mac pro. Is there any plans of something
like this? if so I'd likely go with that instead of the mac mini.

You probably really need to go here. They do this for a living and are
going to be the first to know. Its more involved than just hearing rumors
and they do the whole product line. I had heard they had stopped taking
bulk orders (more than one source on that) from the article there also it
was outside the normal product upgrade time. Merom is coming.
