Apple UMPC

If old rumors are hard to kill, then this one is damn near immortal. The latest speculation on Apple’s much anticipated ultra mobile device has surfaced via T3 (the world’s #1 gadget mag!).

“The Apple rumour mill’s going crazy over speculation the Mac makers are prepping an ultra-portable computer for release next year, but what new technologies are likely to appear in such a secretive device?”

T3’s best answer to that question boils down to the Apple UMPC having a touchscreen that touches back. It also may sport a screen that acts as a camera (ala a two-way mirror), a new on-screen keyboard mechanic and solid-state storage.

If Apple is planning a UMPC (and it does make a lot of sense but it is a big IF), I think solid-state storage and a unique keyboard may be possibilities. The others are a bit too esoteric for a device debuting next year. I have no doubt that Apple engineers are hard at work on some cray stuff, but only time will tell if this latest round of rumor and gossip will amount to anything. Read more at T3.
