Hybrid (Touch) Displays from Apple?

I stop reading Loop rumors a long time ago because the weren't very accurate, how has their record been lately.

Regardless of the source of this rumor, I think it is highly probably that Apple is indeed working on this type of technology in one form or another. It's a logical technological progression in my mind. I think the iPhone is only the beginning of multi-touch technology and in a few years we will see it being deployed across all of Apple's offerings. The technology of Minority Report is not that far away! ;) :cool:

this myth should be debunked... why are they allowed to get airtime on here?

What's an electronic input?

I assume they mean displaying input from an electronic device such as a keyboard or mouse, as opposed to physical which would be your fingers via multi-touch technology.

hehe... good ol' minority report. We always joke around the office about how tired we would get if we had to edit our commercials standing up and moving our arms like crazy! lol

I've been saying this here all year, it makes perfect sense. A line of displays with multi-touch capability. The display could be moved from vertical to almost horizontal. And, iMacs with multi-touch, also able to go almost horizontal. And of course, multi-touch built into Leopard.

Why do you think there have been no display updates for so very, very long?

You'd definitely build up stronger arm muscles though! Just as the Wii is turning video games from a more passive physical activity to an active one, perhaps general computing will follow suit! :p ;) :D

Maybe the people who treat displays like touchscreens have all been forward-thinking individuals who recognized that Apple would make common the use of touch displays for home computers. I guess I was wrong to think they were just clueless and annoying pests.

I must admit I have misjudged these people as well. How could I have been so narrow-minded? :(
