after owning the itouch, i must say, the touch screen interface is amazing. With Apple having made giant leaps in this area, they could make an awesome computer with touch screen.
i would love to see a touch screen computer somewhere soon down the line

it would be interesting if the new imac already has this and is just waiting to be unlocked with leopard.

It might be amazing in a small hand-held device but there's no need for it when you have a keyboard and mouse. If Apple made a tablet Mac, which I doubt they will do, it would need a touch screen. I'd expect the iPod touch to eventually evolve into a full-fledged Mac instead.

Touch the four corners of your iMac screen for 30 seconds, now imagine doing that for several hours. Interesting? More like a pain in the arm.

Apple will make a multi-touch tablet in the next three years, I'm practically convinced of that. How would the big tablet touch-screen Mac UI look though? That's the question. And if you wanted to do some serious non-typing work on it, but didn't want to carry a mouse, would Apple bundle a special stylus for very precise work? You'd use your fingers for most things, but when you want yo select a color from a color-palette wouldn't your fingers be too big? All these questions are pretty much unanswered at this point.
pretty soon our computers will be connected to our minds and we will just control them with thoughs
Do you mean like many people's cell phones are connected to their heads?

Only practically convinced of that, Ireland? I tend to believe that unless they have an all touch interface they will always have to have a keyboard attached (like those convertible laptop/tablets whose screen spins and folds down). I am a little leery of the stylus and I believe that Jobs is as well. How do you see it working?

Nice one!

no, i mean like the computer chip in Veselin Topalov's head
lets see how many people know what I'm talking about
We use Panasonic Toughbooks at work and they have very nice touchscreens, however they're used to display GIS information so there are many icons and things one needs to click and a touchscreen makes it easier.
For day-to-day work, it is much easier to use the keyboard and trackpad.

No kidding. That is why there is a keyboard and mouse. And I don't have an iMac.
for a laptop, the touchpad area would be used.
or
for both laptops and desktops, the screen would be detachable and used like a tablet. But I hope this doesn't happen, because the more moving parts will mean more broken macs.
