Hi,
I'm using PC, and I'm new to Mac, and I want to get Mac OS so I can develop some iOS applications, I think that Mac Mini is good for my needs:
2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
4GB 1066MHz DDR3
320GB Serial ATA Drive

What do you say?
Is Mac Mini good for iOS applications developing?
Can I install Windows 7 on it?

Thanks

Absolutely... I'm a developer and while I have a powerful iMac, some of the guys coding our game use Mac Mini's ... and older ones at that. You can happily run Xcode etc with it :)

Don't know if you can install Windows on it , but why bother if you have a Windows PC already.

You will be able to install windows onto it, so long as it is running 10.5 you can use boot camp, or you can run a virtualisation software on it and do it that way.

Is there an obvious difference between Intel Core 2 duo 2.4GHz and 2.6GHz?
The price difference is $150.

To be honest not really no, maybe a $50 difference but not a $150 difference.
