Albeit difficult, disregard the grotesque hands. These are images from Apple’s recent 52-page patent filing for a touchscreen computer interface. Seems like they’re trying to port their iPhone technology over to personal computers. According to insiders, the patent is for a tablet Mac. Users would be able to use simple gestures to perform a series of functions like zooming, panning, scrolling, data entry, rotating, etc. Though the initiative is clearly in stealth mode, CFO Peter Oppenheimer promised that it would be “state of the art” and without equal.
