Apple Rumour: Touchscreen iMac
Rumours have been floating around Twitter that Apple could be annoucing a brand new line of iMac's, along with the 'iSlate', with touchscreen functionality.
The new 22" iMac is to bring the experience from the normal iMac to a brand new level. I focuses the touch functions available on the iPhone, Magic Mouse and the Macbook trackpad all to the screen. By adding this functionality, Apple will make one of their already big products even bigger, more expensive and with more power than a average household would want. 
Although this sounds like a bad idea, it would be useful to schools, particularly schools which have disabled children or adults who don't know how to use a desktop computer. The functionality would also allow photographers to skim through the photos took on the photoshoot, view it full screen and send them straight off to their client.
I must say although the idea looks a bit misty right now, if it isn't announced sometime this year, it'll certainly be released sometime next year.

Who said this? O.o
I dunno.. if they release a tablet this will become useless.
That would be cool. Apple should seriously consider that.
Honestly, these rumors are getting more ridiculous every day. I don't know if it is true or not but, I don't see this happening.
@What Various feeds have been posting it, Engadget and Twitter mostly. @KevinNunez hmm, I don't think photographers use tablets.. @AJ Yeah, I think too! @PatrickFassler It might?
