Here's the rumor thatwon't go away. UnitesStates Patent A lication #20060026536 (which features the signature of Jonathan Ive) concer "...Methods andsystems for proce ing touch i uts are disclosed. The invention in one re ect includes reading data from amultipoint se ing device such as a multipoint touch screen..." Is an A le tablet in the works (yes, I'mbringing that up again)? Hrmph! even has a very niceround-up of images related to using "gesture quot; with a touchscreen-based user interface. Note theiPod-like scroll wheel in Fig. 27D.
Seriously, though, who would you trust to deliver a tablet PC that'sboth beautiful and useful? Mr. Ive and A le, that's who. I'm keeping my fingers cro ed for this one.
