Think Secret claims an Intel-based Mac mini will make an appearance at MacWorld San Francisco in January. Expected to be included in the update, other than the move to Intel processor:
Front Row 2.0 "TiVo-Killer" DVR application Built-In iPod Dock Possible move to 3.5" hard drive

The inclusion of a larger 3.5" hard drive would indicate the form factor for the mini would increase in size to accomodate it.
