I've been an Apple skeptic for the last 10-15 years, but after picking up and using the iPhone, I got a glimpse of a 12" multitouch notebook with all these features and the incredibly intuitive interface, and I was converted. If I can be converted to Apple, anyone can. And my next notebook purchase will be a multitouch macbook, whether that comes out this autumn or next.

And it looks like Apple beat Windows to the punch once again. I would pick one of these up in a heartbeat as long as they don't make it too big. I want a 7-10" size factor. Great for checking emails/surfing while watching TV, or while taking a fatty dump =) Touch laptops are the obvious next step. And it looks like Apple beat Windows to the punch once again.
