But by releasing a Mac that eclipses the functionality of the tablet PC and fully harnesses the power of multitouch in a way that no one has seen before, Apple can create the computing world's first iPhone-like success.Īnd in the process, Apple could single-handedly propel the computing market forward into a new era where vanilla products are the exception and establish itself as the de facto leader in innovation. Innovation has been a key to Apple's success over the past decade and without it, the company would be nothing more than another computer vendor.

In fact, the most it has done in bringing multitouch to its computers is offering the functionality in the track pad on its MacBook Air.īut simply offering multitouch on a trackpad isn't enough to make consumers want to flock to Apple products instead of HP or Dell machines.

Apple is one of the major leaders in the multitouch space and yet, the company's desire to bring a full-fledged touch-screen device to store shelves has stopped with the iPhone.
