Touchscreen iMacs?

September 24th, 2009

Touch-Screen-iMacAccording to recent rumors, new iMacs are soon to be announced.

So what new features will there be?

LED displays? Probably.

Blu-ray drives? Possibly.

Touchscreen displays? Hopefully!

Let’s face it. Those HP Touchsmart commercials worked. Seeing someone manipulate windows and images on a desktop monitor is just plain cool. Apple has the software skills (sorry HP) and touchscreen expertise to make a full size touchscreen work great.

The cost to implement a full sized digitizer (the glass cover that detects touch input) may be too high for now, but I’ve got to belive this technology is coming sooner rather than later to both iMacs and MacBook Pros. The glass is already there just waiting to be digitized.

If the rumors are right, we may be seeing what features the new iMacs have in the next few weeks.
