If a quick and dirty report is to believed, touch computing is about to go to new levels in 2010. DigiTimes is reporting that Apple will be launching a 22-inch "all-in-one" PC later this year, at an unspecified target date. The information comes courtesy of Chinese publication China Times [translated] and notes that the Cupertino-based software and hardware giant will be outsourcing production of the 22-inch model's touch panels to Taiwan-based Sintek Photronic.
What's interesting about this report is that "PC" is mentioned,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not "iMac". Sure,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you could say that "PC" only stands for personal computer — and it does — but that's sure to confuse a lot of people.
Could Apple be releasing a computer designed to run with Microsoft's Windows operating system? We highly, highly doubt it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but it certainly never hurts to speculate once in a while.
What's also interesting about this unofficial announcement of sorts is the ergonomics of the entire idea. We can't speak for everybody,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but picturing ourselves consistently reaching over to the screen of an iMac for touch input would quickly become tiring for the arms,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], not to mention downright annoying.
For now, we'll let this simmer and get back to this story when we've learned some more concrete details.
