Posted by Editor on Jan 18, 2010 in Apple, Tablets

PCWorld brings this report of the highly successful multitouch technology coming to more than the iPhone, iTouch and tablet. So perhaps the Tablet won’t be the only cool thing unveiled in San Francisco on January 27th. Could this be Steve’s “one more thing?”

If you’re tired of hearing about the mythical Apple tablet, then you’ll be happy to hear a new rumor has popped up claiming Apple will launch a 22-inch touchscreen iMac later this year. The computer will be produced by Taiwan-based manufacturer Quanta, with the screens being produced by Sintek Photronic, according to DigiTimes based on an account from the Chinese language newspaper China Times.

Apple: Reach Out and Touch Me

The company has had a runaway success with the iPhoneand iPod Touch, multitouch trackpads in MacBookswere introduced in 2008, and Apple recently brought out the touch-based Magic Mouse. If the rumors are correct, Apple may also be introducing a 10-inchtouchscreen multimedia device at the end of this month.
