At the upcoming Macworld Expo it has been rumored that new iMac’s and maybe even Mac mini’s will be released, but more excitingly is a rumored new home server device with sharing facilities and iTunes.
If Apple is to release a new server, it will be competition for the new HP MediaSmart servers which boast similar functions with same ARM-based platform, the same WiFi functionality, and with Time Machine supported. Though the new Apple server is rumored to have some new features such as; AFP file sharing, full support for a shared iTunes library, as well as media sharing to iPhone, iPod touches, and Apple TV devices.
Additionally, the new server is said to integrate the recently introduced MobileMe in order to provide remote access to the device, as well as photo integration with MobileMe, and the server is to have a me.com subdomain (which would allow access to its files and iTunes library via the Internet).
