Anybody think a touch screen iMac will be coming soon?

My experience with a touch screen

My dad gave me an older touchscreen once, it was one of the ones from the hospitals. It was soooooo cool!!! For about..... 5 minutes. Try holding your arms out over your desk for a good 15 minutes.... Feel the burn. Also, I found that it just diddnt seem right. The os(windows vista) was just not made for a touch screen. It wasint optimized for that method of input. Keep the touchscreens to my iPad and iPod and the world will still go round...
 
zorro macsk - what a bad name :D , particularly the word "macsk".

anyway, idea is good, but I see no point of lifting my arm up to the monitor....imacs are not ideal for this the way they are designed.
Only way I would want a touch screen imac would be if the whole foot would be completely bendable so I could lower the screen lie flat on the table....and that Wacom would integrate their pen technology into the screen. So I would get a Wacom Cintiq and an imac in one device....that would be awesome! ..it could of course suport finger touch too.
 
why ?

cannot anyone imagine an imac sized ipad ?? I think it would be awesome. Those complaining about fingerprints, do not eat fries and clean your hands before using your apple device. I am sure your iphone screens cannot be seen because of touching it with dirty hands .. Be clean ..

Talking about bumping a year old thread .. iMac as a touchscreen is bad, but if Apple going to implement a desktop with hand gestures, it would be something like LEAP Motion
 
Another DOA technology. Much like 3D movies/TV, air swiping, NFC (that's what Bluetooth is for)....
 
You all lack imagination. They could make a flat lying touch iMac and it would be the coolest thing since Vanilla Ice. Also iOS could be integrated in the iMac without losing OSX. A touch iMac would be very cool. Make it happen Apple, but only if it's usable.

Yep, cool, nothing more, as of now.
If they can find a way to relieve neck strain, they should go for it, but as of now, that involves two displays and constantly checking, if one touches the right control. Many physical items can be used without looking at them after a while due to muscle memory, but with a flat touchscreen that is quite hard to accomplish.
Maybe if they find a way to change the shapes of the surface, thus fingers can navigate more easily.

More importantly, why did you resuscitate a thread from almost a year ago that contained nothing of any real value.

That member just registered for that one post and hasn't been logged in since then. You will hardly get an answer out of such posters, they roll around the www and resurrecting old threads for no real value anyway.
