  • Rumor That’s Probably True: Touchscreen iMacs Coming Soon
  • Amazon eBook Price Wars: Macmillan Strikes Back!
  • Nook vs. Kindle: A New Champion?
    • ]]>     I’m going to have to call in Scooby and the gang, because I can’t possibly figure out this mystery. Amazon has purchased touchscreen manufacturer Touchco, but has not clarified what it intends to do with the company. Touchco was reportedly working on low-cost touchscreens that work with transparent displays, and I can’t for the life of me figure out what Amazon would need with such a company…

    But seriously, this news can only point to one thing: A new version of the Kindle with touchscreen support. Touchco’s technology reportedly supported multi-touch, so it really sounds like Amazon is heading at Apple head on. Will an Amazon App Store be far behind the launch of a new Kindle?

  • What Could It Possibly Mean? Amazon Buy Touchscreen Company
  • Rumor: iPad Launch Date is March 26th
  • Will the Next Apple TV Cost $99 Bucks?
    • ]]>     Some rumors are just that. But on the other hand, there are Apple rumors, which are typically spot on. Maybe it’s because Apple devotees are as fanatical about the company’s products as Twilight fans are about sparkling homoerotic vampires. So the rumors circulating that Apple will be releasing a 22-inch Touchscreen version of the iMac sometime this year. According to a report in the Chinese paper Commercial Times, the new computer will feature a screen by Sintek Photronic and will be manufactured by Quanta, the Taiwanese company that already builds a good chunk of Apple’s hardware. Little else is known about the potential new version, except that it’s expect by the end of the year and it damn well better play Fieldrunners.

    A major Apple product announcement is expected January 27.
