Apple patented a touchscreen iMac does the future of the apple computers?

Apple patent looks interesting things that did not mean that they will appear. In fact, in the past we have seen many that were never made and the same could happen to this that shows a touchscreen iMac . But while the touchscreen iMac would not see the light of truth that is interesting to speculate.

The patent can be seen in the photograph was in September 2009 in Europe and as explained in accelerometer that would activate the touch screen when it is tilted. This would be focused, as you might imagine, different designers can safely ignore both the mouse and the tablet. When again placed in its vertical position the accelerometer to normal again and everything would turn back into a conventional computer.

But while this and this becomes evident in something interesting, what caught our attention is that come with both Mac OS X operating system as IOS. This logically leads us to believe that this iMac touch would be something like the IPAD but enhanced or professional development of IPAD. Yes, I wonder: Would not it be somewhat annoying to have to go changing the operating system in the form of using the device? I give some slack.

The first thing that comes to my head is whether this may in some ways, revolutionizing the way we use computers desktops. If anything Apple can do well is to change the way we think about technology. He did it with the IPAD and the world of portable players, it was with the iPhone and smartphones and is doing with the IPAD.

Can you do the same with the iMac Touch? The reality is that, especially me, I have no doubt that this is not like the IPAD, which is focused on a much more general and that if he ever ends up being designed will be created especially for people who want to be connected to the Internet from anywhere and at all times.

The iMac touch is a professional computer aimed specifically to the world of design and not for any (or at least not anyone could exploit to the fullest, and all). This is not a product that will sell in the mainstream which every famous and want to appear on television as the new way to use the desktop computer.

As I always say, this is a patent and could be quietly into nothingness and only be simple sketches. It is also true that if there is something that people like Apple is that their devices are touch and seek a return to all in need, or at least think, they need one. Would not surprise me at all to see in the future this iMac touch on the street and sale and in fact I think that is closer than we can imagine.
