Rumors swirl around potential Apple touchscreen computer

By Aaron Baker • July 22, 2008

According to MacDailyNews, Apple’s latest trick up their sleeve may be a touchscreen computer. A source at their website claims that:

Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch. Gesture library. Full Mac OS X. This is why they bought P.A. Semi. Possibly with Immersion’s haptic tech. Slot-loading SuperDrive. Accelerometer. GPS. Pretty expensive to produce initially, but sold at “low” price that will reduce margins. Apple wants to move these babies. And move they will. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.

The rumor comes from the individual that tipped several Mac news websites with the wireless iTunes store one week prior to its launch. While we recommend you take it with a grain of salt, it is certainly worth mentioning.
