So where's that iMac with the multi-touch gesture capable IPS display again? Looking, looking... What's that you say? Such a product has never existed? Apple has never made a touch screen iMac? Oh dear. What's that you say? HP introduced their first TouchSmart system featuring a polished aluminum housing with integrated display and touch screen on JANUARY 7, 2007, putting them only 8 months ahead of Apple's release? (IQ770. Look it up, kids.) CURSE YOU, FACTS!

This is about trade dress, not features. Multi-touch and IPS are irrelevant. And the IQ770 looks like a hideous product Apple would never, ever make: http://www.strongengineering.com/images/products/detail/hp4070.jpg http://www.strongengineering.com/images/products/detail/hp40...

  Oh my god, that's a real picture. When I pulled it up, I figured it was one of those "Here's the kind of thing PC maker build" pictures, where a bunch of irrelevant things are put on because people might want them. It had to be a joke image. Nope. It's on Amazon[1]. Their picture looks a tad better though. Were there any industrial designers on that project?
