RUMOR: MacBook Touch Coming...


"A little birdy tells me that Apple will announce a 12 or 13-inch tablet in the fall of this year. Most likely in the September or October time frame. It will run the full Mac OS X and have a slot loading SuperDrive, an 'iPhone-type' GPS chip and an Intel Core Duo processor, presumably Intel’s Atom," Jason D. O'Grady blogs for ZDNet.

"Whether it’ll be a based on the iPhone or MacBook form-factor remains to be seen. You’ll recall that Intel Germany CEO Hannes Schwaderer spilled the beans that an 'iPhone' that will be using Intel’s new Atom processor after which he was quickly corrected by Apple," O'Grady writes. "Where there’s smoke, there’s fire indeed."

"This particular birdy has been reliable in the past so I’m optimistic about the rumor, but as always, nothing’s for sure," O'Grady writes. "Apple’s had tablet Macs in the labs for years but hasn’t decided to make one a real product, until now."
