Right. And Apple says my mini will support "..up to 2560 by 1600 pixels on a dual-link DVI display using Mini DisplayPort to Dual-Link DVI Adapter
That adapter is $71 at Monoprice unless I'm looking at the wrong adapter. Why is that particular adapter $71 and all the others are under $10?
mDP to DL-DVI adapters are expensive. It's not just a cable conversion. It has circuitry to do a signal conversion, or something? I also find the adapters to be a little buggy and annoying to use.
This is why I prefer more expensive monitors that have DisplayPort, but in your case, it might just be an odd circumstance where that model of mini will only do 2560x1440 over the adapter.
