Macbook Touch ???

An informer for Macdailynews has come out with a variety of claims about a new device.

These include talk of a Macbook-sized screen in Iphone-like glass, with fully-featured multi-touch on Mac OS X.

Apparently, he believes this is why the company bought P.A. Semi - and the device may include Immersion's haptic technology which may allow tactile feedback, among other new touch-screen features.

Similarly to the Iphone, the device is purported to contain GPS, a DVD-RW drive and an accelerometer. It will be App-Store compatible, yet able to run standard Mac applications.

Apparently, the same informer has spoken to Macdailynews previously concerning over products tip-bits and has got the information right.
