There used to be a time when it’s safe to invest in an Apple product to expect a 18-month gap before the next update. It’s no fault of Apple, technology is just moving so fast that if any Company doesn’t update with what’s new – they’ll lose out. The latest range of iMacs just got out not too long ago and already there are “rumors” of a 22-inch Touchscreen iMac hitting this year. Here’s my prediction. If the Apple Tablet is real and announced next week, the move to launch a Touchscreen iMac will only mean one thing. That we will all finally be able to do what those guys in the movie Avatar did. Slide some data off your main computer into a portable tablet device and continue reading, working, and pinching in-and-out while on-the go. It’s not that difficult, we already have an App for that. Check out BUMP for the iPhone. You can slide a photo from one screen and it appears on the screen on the other iPhone placed side by side. So who’s in line for these?

Hahaha. Steve Jobs loves you! Personally, a touchscreen would not compel a purchase. Dell has an all-in-one touchscreen desktop computer now for 3k plus. Pointless. But if Apple could realize the Avatar scenario, maybe they’ve got something.
Great. Now Steve Jobs must come up with a new design of iMac because the screen is too high. Normal Asian people couldn’t reach it.

Nah, it’s not that bad. Am using a 24″ iMac and it’s just fine.
PC to tablet then from tablet to PC. If this happens I might just sell a kidney… The wait begins.

We shall know in exactly 7 days. Fingers crossed.
I mean your hand can’t reach the screen.

Nope. It’s fine too. Tiring after awhile. But can reach it alright.
BigMacky,
I want! My pocket can’t reach it though. Not deep enough.
yea too high.
