The new Mac mini is out and it is cool! With a totally redesigned look and features that put it into another class of computing experience, if there was ever a doubt about Apple's commitment to the mini, it is surely squelched now.
That said, it is a new design and it will require that H-Squared put their collective thinking caps on to figure out how to support it. But we will support it and, as always, we'll come out with a design that'll be both functional and minimal.
If you have a Mac mini with a white top, then the current Mini mount will work just fine. If you purchase a new Mac mini, the existing Mini mount will not work.
We'll get back to you, our valued customers, as soon as possible with more news.

UPDATE: 23-June-2010: Good news! We're already working on a revision to the Mini mount that is in the design phase. We've determined that not only will this design work for customers wanting to mount the Mac mini on wall (or other vertical surface), but it will also work horizontally thereby replacing the Mini Shelf. As soon as we are able to produce some prototypes and test them, we plan to make the product available for pre-order. Timing is still TBD, but rest assured that we're working hard to deliver a great product as quickly as possible.
UPDATE: 7-July-2010: Our first prototypes are in production. Once we have a chance to verify the design, we'll get some pictures up here for everyone to see. Thanks for your patience!
UPDATE: 27-July-2010: We have been testing a prototypes for the past week and things are looking good. We want to make some minor changes before going to production and verify with the big A that these changes are cool. As a side note, we're going to post little updates to our progress via twitter starting this week. You can follow us by clicking the icon below.
