Coming Soon? The Macbook Touch

The internet is abuzz with new rumors concerning the possibility of a touchscreen laptop from Apple being made available in October.  Tentatively labeled the “Macbook Touch,”  A source at MacDailyNews has leaked all the details:

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. This is some sick shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.

Pieces of the puzzle continue to assemble as new details emerge.  Apple’s OS was designed with modularity in mind, that is, being able to load the OS on a variety of devices with specialized functions, allowing for seamless and unified programming and development.  After the iPod Touch and iPhones, one can only speculate at a robust tablet naturally being in development.  If you ask me, it was only a matter of time before it came about.  We’ll keep following this story and keep you posted.
