New iMac's may have touch screen

These days the buzz around all of Apple's products have been at full tilt. With anticipation of the new greenpois0n jailbreak in beta phase & rumors of new iPad designs, Verizon iPhones & more. Now the latest word is that the new iMac's will feature a touch screen!



Asian tech company, Sintek Photonics has reportedly shipped samples of capacitive touch panels to Apple. The touch-enabled iMac will reportedly have good vertical and horizontal viewing angles, and its “one-glass” touch panel will integrate the sensor and cover glass for a slimmer, lighter design. Patently Apple reported in August that Apple registered patents for new iMac design that in addition to standard vertical viewing angle, would also feature horizontal tilt. Which would be essential for using a touch screen longer than a few seconds.





The only problem is that engineers state that building touch screens this large is complex & expensive. Although I'm sure Apple with figure a way to accomplish their goals.
