Rumor: Apple To Introduce iMac With iOS Support?

on 06/24/2010 00:36 PDT

This is still very much a rumor at this point, but word is that Apple is planning to host a special event in the next 60 days to introduce a new iMac, and what makes this special is that it will feature a touch interface, meant for running iOS, which will almost certainly mean that there will be multi-touch support. Do you think that it’s possible that Apple would consider putting iOS on its iMac line? Perhaps a quick-boot option or something?

iOS was once upon a time called iPhone OS, or "operating system", which is the software that provides all the basic device functionality and is the interface between the hardware and applications. iOS was introduced with the iPhone on January 9 2007, and it was originally not intended to be programmable by third parties. Steve Jobs had envisioned that developers could create Web Apps that would run in the browser. This changed less than one year after when the iPhone SDK (software development kit) was introduced in October 2007. Today, hundreds of thousands of apps have been created for this platform. iPhone OS became iOS on June 2010. Interestingly, both iPhone and iOS were former trademarks of Cisco, that Apple now uses under a license.
