Apple plans to release sensory candy bars and notebook-transformer?

Back in January of this year, Apple quietly for all applied for a patent associated with the conversion displays and notebook computers based on Mac OS X in sensor devices, such as tablet running computers. Unnoticed by the application were for a simple reason: people are expected iPad announcement, and that this focused attention.

According to Patently AppleQuite possibly, Apple iMac turns into a real giant iMac Touch, a MacBook to MacBook Tablet. (These names are not unambiguous, and so far only assumptions related to possible new features of computers.)

So, in Cupertino seem to exploring the possibility of introduction of new laptops and computers of the two operating systems - Mac OS X and iOS simultaneously. As a result, depending on the needs and used functions the user can make the display touchscreen iMac or conventional, where programs are controlled by mouse and keyboard. By the same token MacBook become a tablet.

Migrating from Mac OS X to iOS should be carried out on their own iMac computer, when his sensors will notice the change of the display position. If the bracket is rotated so that the angle between the display and the table surface around 90 °, the candy bar will continue to operate normally.

If the angle will change approximately 60 °, the operating system switches to iOS mode, and the display will be touch. (Fig. 2)

In addition, the transition from one OS to another can be realized through new sensors built into the bottom of the screen on both sides. When you touch their respective work program, and will be implemented by the transition from Mac OS X to iOS.

In general, touch monoblock mode promises a rather unexpected experience of use. One can only imagine how the game will work for iOS on the display of this magnitude. On the other hand, just think what might be editing video, for example.

Another interesting concept can be called MacBook converting an idea into a tablet PC with the same touch screen. Sure about how to apply it in this mode it is easy to guess. So, Apple laptops can be a device like the iPad. Thus iOS mode should be started instead of Mac OS X mode after appropriate transformation with a turn display gadget 180 °.
