MacBook as iOS Device

Bloomberg: “Starting as early as next year, software developers will be able to design a single application that works with a touchscreen or mouse and trackpad depending on whether itâ€ s running on the iPhone and iPad operating system or on Mac hardware, according to people familiar with the matter. “

This is something I’d welcome. I’d love to see a 12-inch MacBook sized laptop running iOS that allowed touch input and mouse input. That would be amazing.

I know that’s not what the article says, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about for a very long time. I think Microsoft Surface Pro is a wonderful computer and I don’t see why Apple couldn’t make something like it. Of course there will be much gnashing of teeth, but it seems an obvious compromise for a hybrid experience.

Here’s hoping.

Guess I’d better hurry up and finish up my Mac App so I can get started on the iOS version?
