Re Mac Break 99
So I have a prediction for Apples announcement in Sept. It will NOT be a tablet. This has been tried before and even if it was wonderful the potential market is very very small. Apple has been about reinventing existing product lines (see Ipod, Iphone, mac mini, etc etc). SO...
I predict that apple will announce two related product lines....
Macbook Touch... A clamshell macbook. It's primary display will not be a touch screen, but the keyboard/touchpad area of the Macbook will have a touch interface. It will not only use multi-touch but will allow applications to display a customized touch/control interface. It may or may not replace the keyboard.
Mac Touch A USB or Bluetooth peripheral similar to the touch interface for the Macbook Touch. It will replace the mouse and possibly the keyboard as well. It will work across the apple product line including the Apple TV.
One more thing... it will also be available for windows Vista computers. Interfaces for iTunes, Safari and Media Center already included.
