Mac Mini: The End of Apple TV?

Buzz this
Apple a few days, updating its online store, has announced the New Mac Mini. This is a computer Compact size (more compact than its predecessor) and good performance.
For years we wondered what could overlap one another Mac Mini and Apple TV and for years the answer was not "totally" because some features in one device and another missing. The previous version of the Mac Mini could not easily be connected to a TV household (less than DVI). Apple TV was not equipped with a real operating system: no keyboard, no mouse.
In both cases, with a little 'ingenuity could overcome the lack of desired functionality.
Network is rained guides modded a Mac Mini and be guides for a modded Apple TV turns into a device closer to a computer. Was clear: the user has never borne the overlap, albeit small, of the two products.
Steve Jobs himself has never hidden his total disregard for the Apple TV. On the same blog there are least 5 posts that speak of possible end device.
With the official release of the last incarnation of the Mac Mini, I think less than great revolutions, is actually reached by the end of the beloved Apple TV: HDMI port is the clear desire for Apple to turn the device into a computer lounge. And there is no room for two devices on the same television.
It 'is therefore possible that in Cupertino are focusing on a version of Front Row all new, revamped or otherwise.
