What would happen if an iPod Touch mated with a MacBook? According to AppleInsider, Apple is releasing a touchscreen laptop or tablet in October of 2008. Of course it’s still just a rumor, but a lot of people are very excited about finally getting their hands on a MacBook Touch.

MacBook Touch: Rumored Features

The “MacBook Touch” is rumored to have the following features:

  • iPhone-like full-featured multi-touchscreen.
  • Full version of Mac OS X. This might help explain why Apple bought chip design company P.A. Semi in April 2008.
  • Slot-loading SuperDrive.
  • Same accelerometer technology used in the iPod Touch and iPhone.
  • GPS.

Apple’s Promised Product Transition

AppleInsider also reports that at the most recent earnings talk, Apple promised a product transition by the end of September with “technologies and features that others can’t match.”

Is a touchscreen laptop the “product transition” Apple was talking about? We can’t wait for more details to emerge that either confirm or negate this juicy rumor.

    If Apple were really smart they would make the tablet run both the iPhone OS as well as Leopard. The iPhone OS and App metaphor could address the needs of the millions of technically challenged people who find any desktop based OS to complicated.
