It’s really gorgeous, but as we all know, it’s not just the hardware that makes an Apple product. This mockup uses Mac OS X, and there’s just no way that the Mac version of the OS can be used in a touch environment. The mockup should more rightly be done with a revised iPhone OS X that’s optimized for fingertip interaction rather than a mouse…

Hey thanks for picking this up. Yeah, I know it would need a hybrid OS. This was really just some wishful thinking as far as hardware design.

Thanks again

Actually OSX can run in full touch. Have you not seen the Modbook, which turns a macbook into a full touch tablet (running good ol’ OSX) There is also another company that turns iMac’s into full touch devices, and once again, not doing anything to change OSX. In all honesty, this thing really could run a full version of OSX, the only thing that would be holding it back would be if it didn’t have enough processer power to do the job, but OSX can run with a touch only interface.
