I don't think there's any exact answer to that right now.. But i'm waiting as well..
 
there are already a gazillion threads on refresh. No one knows outside of Apple and the people that do know keep their mouths shut to avoid the wrath of management. Apple store people have no information either.
 
Apple's main mini page still says "Introducing the new Mac mini." 8 months after the current model's release. I'd guess they won't be doing anything new for a while.
 
One would hope that they'd update it by the middle of the year, but they did take about 19 months between the 07 and the early 09 Mac Minis, so if that's anything to go by, though unlikely it's possible the next update could be as late as early next year.

DarthMoops any Mac currently sold by Apple is called a new Mac even if it hasn't been updated for 18 months, it's still called a new Mac.
