What would happen if an iPod Touch mated with a MacBook?

According to AppleInsider, Apple is releasing a touchscreen laptop in October. Of course it's still just a rumor, but a lot of people are very excited about finally getting their hands on a Mac touchscreen tablet.



Can this Photoshopped mockup become a reality?

The "MacBook Touch" is rumored to have the following features:

• iPhone-like full-featured multi-touchscreen.
  
• Full version of Mac OS X. This might help explain why Apple bought chip design company P.A. Semi in April 2008.
  
• Slot-loading SuperDrive.
  
• Same accelerometer technology used in the iPod Touch and iPhone.
  
• GPS.
  

AppleInsider also reports that at the most recent earnings talk, Apple promised a product transition by the end of September with "technologies and features that others can't match."

Is the MacBook Touch the "product transition" Apple was talking about? We can't wait for more details to emerge that either confirm or negate this juicy rumor.
