This is probably grasping at straws, but maybe 10.7 will finally be focused on Apple building something for the end user with all the nice APIs they've added in on 10.5 and 10.6. Stable foundation, now to build something on top of it. In this case, devs would already have a lot of the APIs.
- tewks 16y agoYou're right. That end user facing thing will be touch. After iPad, I want an iMac with multitouch.
- listic 16y agoBut why? It seems to be well known that touch interfaces are uncomfortable for prolonged interaction: your hand overlaps the display, gets tired, etc. Maybe it's beneficial to have touch as additional input method, but it's not obvious to me.
- philwelch 16y agoMacBooks have multitouch already, it's just on a touchpad instead of the screen. Unless Apple goes completely bananas over touchscreen keyboards and releases a Nintendo DS style MacBook, all they'll probably do is embiggen the touchpad.
