An Apple patent looks very iMac touch-like
Rumors that Apple has been working on a touchscreen-based iMac have been circulating for some time, and last week’s report seemed to add more fule to that fire. With the company’s denial, however, it seems less likely that Apple is working on bringing a touch-based iMac to market any time soon.
Considering Apple’s investment in touch-based devices, it’s plausible the company is looking into ways to effectively bring the same type of interaction users are already familiar with on the iPhone, iPad and iPod touch to the Mac product lineup. Just when such a Mac would be available is up in the air, and Apple won’t offer up any hints until it’s ready.
