Rumour of touchscreen Mac mini notebook surfaced again. It would be 7 or 9" display like large touch iPod. It would be released during Fall of 2009, if rumour is correct.

I am expecting such a touchscreen tablet PC from Apple this January Mac World expo. But rumour is disappointing that it is only for Fall 2009.:D

Well that image screams "I'm a fake" though..

Yeah, whoever Photoshopped it screwed up, since the bottom bar extends off the LCD and into the case and off the edge of the rounded corner of the product.

Duh.

I may well be wrong, but I wouldn't think Apple would put out a device quite like that. Wouldn't it eat into the sales of the MBA?

If I were Steve, I would be looking into the institutional use of the tablet PC to see if I could get into that market space. Maybe, just maybe, what with lots and lots of doctors and lawyers buying iPhones. You never know. still, I would hope they wouldn't make a keyboardless wonder like what's pictured on Gizmodo. Yuck.

That looks like something that could easily be smashed on accident. TOO EASILY.
