From the referred to Mac OS Rumors site

If the AppleTV's lack of an optical drive has been an issue for you, look no further than a soon to be announced update to the popular iDevice for that very issue to be addressed. Also, the entry-level model will be dropped to $249 with a 60GB or maybe even 80GB HDD (depending on market conditions about six or seven weeks from now), and two other models at $299 and $399 sporting 120-160 and 200-250GB drives respectively. The optical drive may not be available on all models, another vagary of our most recent source reports on the subject. More on the AppleTV 2.0 and its across-the-board hardware/software upgrades later this week when the key embargo expires!

The grapevine is increasingly excited about a series of Apple Events between now and mid-December, introducing no less than five all-new products including at least one entirely new Mac product line -- almost certainly the much anticipated Macbook Nano.

We have the privilege of being able to exclusively report on information provided to Mac OS Rumors by one of our oldest and most reliable sources in Cupertino: the Mac Mini is dead.....Long Live the Mac Nano!

Why not just re-package a headless/battery-less MacBook?

They could use the same motherboard, everything. Maybe that is what they will do. Of course, I'd prefer a Mac-Midi to a Mac-Nano.

If there is any truth to the Mac-Nano rumor, I'd assume it would support just one display. My next Mac is likely to be a MacBook with external monitor. Seems the closest to my needs.
