MacBook Touch coming in October?
Okay, so I know this guy who knows this guy who knew this guy who read on Gizmodo that MacDailyNews has a source who leaked that the MacBook Touch will be coming in October. Obviously, it’s just a rumor, and we’ve heard such rumors before, but here’s what has the Apple web abuzz:
- This source apparently leaked wireless iTunes a week before it was announced.
- Steve Jobs mentioned in the Apple earnings report yesterday that Apple’s “...busy finishing several more wonderful new products to launch in the coming months.” He also promised, “...technologies and features that others can’t match.”
- October’s a great time for a device, considering the shopping season.
- People really, really want this to be true.
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 ####. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest.
Whether this Apple Tablet comes to fruition, I guess we’ll just have to wait and see. If you really need to find out ahead of time, find out who makes those fingerprint screen wipes for the iPhone and iPod touch and see if they all suddenly start buying boats and big TVs.
