Apple to Launch MacBook Touch:

Though some have doubts about Apple launching a new product in the coming months, the blogosphere is aflutter with rumors of a touchscreen Mac tablet, currently dubbed the MacBook touch.

MacDailyNews received the tip from an anonymous source who previously leaked information about Apple’s wireless iTunes Store a week before the company debuted it.

"Think MacBook screen, possibly a bit smaller, in glass with iPhone-like, but fuller-featured Multi-Touch," the anonymous source told MDN. "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 shit. App Store-compatible, able to run Mac apps, too. By October at the latest."

As an analyst pointed out in one of my earlier posts, a MacBook, netbook touch would certainly be plausible, given that Apple has already developed Cocoa Touch for iPhone and could likely implement it into a tablet. A MacBook and netbook touch would essentially be a larger, more powerful iPhone, after all.
