Apple is going to loose in the desktop market

Why is it that a company that has set computing on its ear, appears to be falling behind in the area that made them famous - the personal computer. I do love the iMac. It is sleek, sexy, simple and elegant ... but one thing it is lacking where other computer makers have innovated - a touchscreen personal computer. How has Apple overlooked this? They created the desire for all things touchscreen. First with the iPhone and now with the iPad. Why not take this technology and apply it to a desktop iMac? Are they afraid of 'loosing' iPad marketshare?
       Apple is quickly missing out on this market segment. Several windows desktops have removed the desktop tower and copied the iMac all in one look ... but with one added benefit - touchscreen. Why hasn't Apple done this? Why didn't they do this FIRST? they were first with the first touchscreen phone? the first touchscreen tablet? why did they drop the ball on a touchscreen iMac?

Why hasn't Apple made a touch screen iMac?


Ok this seems to be an obvious... slap in the face one ... but Why hasn't Apple made a touchscreen iMac? Or MacBook even? Everyone else is creating one ... but Apple hasn't. Are they afraid it will dip into their iPad market? Im constantly touching my screen while I look at things on my laptop ... would be nice if I could click or swipe while i'm already there. It seems if you have pretty much perfected the interface of touch screens - you'd incorporate it into all your devices.

I would LOVE my MacBook to be able to have touch screen capability. Sure I wouldn't use it for everything ... but it would give another dimension to my product. Now if they came out with an iMac with touchscreen ... I'll be the first in line. That way you could really put away the keyboard and mouse and just have a nice display on your desk.

Come on Apple ... you are supposed to be leading the innovation ... not following it.
