Apple rumored to be developing touch tablet mac

Here's why I think this is cool for us. Since the iPhone, Apple has multi-touch. Which means there isn't "the mouse" there are an arbitrary number of touches you can track. Which means this baby could become the all purpose MIDI control surface. Throw up a picture of a mixer and ride one fader per finger, make synth knob panels, etc. Considering Mackie was charging way more for the C4 (admittedly I think its a failure as it seems to be in clearance everywhere), this could be a big win with the right software.

OWC has had one for a while now:

Or maybe Apple is just going to enlarge the iPod Touch?
