Apple Touchscreen Notebook

Apple plans to launch a touchscreen macbook.I am sure it would be different from all other touchscreen notebooks available in the market , just like the iPhone.

According to The Commercial Times/DigiTimes, Apple has rounded up Taiwanese-based computer parts manufacturer Wintek to make displays for an upcoming touchscreen notebook. Rumors of a touchscreen Apple netbook are nothing new, but this one is quite specific in that it specifies that the displays will be passed along to Quanta who will be entrusted with the manufacturing of the netbook itself. Of course, details don’t mean a rumor has even the slightest bit of truth to it, but considering The Commercial Times/DigiTimes has a pretty decent track record (you know, when it’s not predicting Blu-ray Xbox 360s) and outed the first-gen iPhone, we’re willing to give this rumor the benefit of the doubt. As for when this alleged launch will happen, it is said that shipments should start in 2H of this year, meaning that there are still a few solid months left for everyone to speculate the hell out of this thing. But just think - Steve Jobs comes back to Apple in June, a new iPhone or two is expected, and a touchscreen netbook might be on its way. We’ll see…

HP releases touch-screen laptop

Hewlett Packard has a new multi-touch tablet PC.
The Touchsmart tx2 lets users select and drag files with their fingertips. HP's previous Touchsmart machines were desktops created as all-purpose family machines to check e-mail, leave messages, listen to music and view photos.
"Breezing through websites and enjoying photos or video at the tap, whisk or flick of a finger is an entirely new way to enjoy digital content on a notebook PC," said Ted Clark, the manager of HP's notebook group, in a press release.
The tablet also has a standard keyboard and mouse, and a digital pen to take notes directly onto the screen.
Early reviews of the machine are favorable. Gizmodo called it a "multi-touch wonder." LAPTOP magazine reported that while the touch screen isn't as user friendly as the iPhone, the experience is pleasant. And Stuff.tv praised the laptop's swivel display, "which lets you caress your snaps and flick through tunes without having to resort to the keyboard."
The new laptop comes at a time when HP is doing remarkably well, given the economic climate. HP's stock went up 14.5 percent yesterday, The Associated Press reported. The company also announced that fourth-quarter and 2009 results would be better than expected, according to the report.
