Surely apple will learn lots of good stuff from the iPad and one day bring that technology to the MacBook Pro (MacBook Pro Touch ??). Its got to be there in their roadmap somewhere.
- dkasper 17y agoI agree and would predict that in the future all of Apple's computers will be touch screens. They've already done away with the mouse buttons on their laptops to get a bigger touchpad, and it seems like the next evolution of that is a full touch screen. Maybe they will truly become like phones and we will have iPads with slide out keyboards for the people who need to type a lot (kind of like the Lenovo hybrid).
- wtallis 17y agoI'm still wondering when Apple will get around to buying Wacom. They bought FingerWorks to get the best multi-touch technology, but I don't think that multitouch will be quite enough to accommodate the full range of capabilities we geeks want from our tablets. The combination of pen input and multitouch offered by Wacom's Bamboo and apparently Axiotron's upcoming Modbook Pro is, however, enough for general purpose computing. (Command lines and programming are still hard with pen input because nobody has made a pen input system that is optimized for all the strange punctuation.)
