Touch UI – Apple patents show future
New Apple patent applications indicate their bet on the touch interface, both for laptop as well as desktop.
It’s pretty clear where Apple sees the future and if the iPhone/iPad are any indicators, competitors will follow promptly and the whole inertia created will make fully touch-based computing a quite likely scenario.
Presumably this will be used for iOS type interface on laptops/desktops, but maybe also MacOS, if Apple allows touch in parallel to mouse/keyboard, which could make sense as the evolutionary path.
