News, iTunes App Store

Allegedly this is a leaked pre-release shot of Apple’s website featuring the new MacBook Touch tablet device. It looks like the Macbook Touch has iPhone Apps and OS X apps running on the same screen, in which case we’ll be able to use the App Store, and run the best of OS X on the new Macbook Touch. Notice the little tab under the video player, could this be the new “Cocktail” feature that everyone is talking about right now? Time will tell!

Touch User Guide for more info on the tablet.

    BIGGEST tipoff?

    Look at the url. Apple.com/... slash what?

    Oh, and you would spell out 'and', not write &.

    Apple's website doesnt need deep linking nessasrly to veiw pages like that...
  • kurk1
    wow looks so cool! cant wait for it to be released.
  • billymayz
    I'm sick of all the fakeness! Everytime some kid in his bedroom stretches out an ipot touch were told about it.
  • Ralf
    Fake. Look at the URL, it's just apple.com without any deeplink
  • Jenkin
    Ralf, thats the home page, so there wont be any deep linking...

    just like the iPhone is on the Apple homepage at the moment, but the URL is just Apple.com
  • whether its a good idea or not is one thing, but iPhone apps can run on a Mac.... i guess it would be quite easy for Apple to make this an 'out of the box' feature...

    however the feasibility of this is definately questionable.

    Personally, Apple WILL have to come out with something new, because OS X WITHOUT a keyboard will be unusable, and iPhone OS X on such a massive screen will just look a bit 'Windows 95' haha....
  • its photoshopped..the angles of the devices dont line up right.

    another giveaway that this is wishful thinking: iphone apps and os x apps are built on different architectures for different processors and therefore cannot run on the same device. also, iphone apps are designed for the iphones screen. the dock looks like it came from a screenshot of Dashboard. seriously, iphone apps ON os x would be the worst idea ever..it wouldnt work well..
  • I know all about the Simulator. I have it actually. But like the other two said, the difference is in the processors. Apps submitted to the App Store (and thus the ones downloaded in the App Store) are compiled for ARM processors. There is no way to recompile for other processors without the source code, and only the app devs have that.
  • @averix, iPhone apps cannot run on Macs. The iPhone simulator will run iPhone apps that are compiled for the Mac's processor; vanilla iPhone apps are compiled for the ARM processor of the iPhone. Also, the Simulator does not implement many software libraries that are necessary for iPhone apps to be useful.

    Well, I agree that this is a Photoshop rendition, but iPhone applications CAN run on Mac OS X. iPhone OS is Mac OS X stripped down.

    Iphone apps can work on macs... that is how developers test the apps out. (search iphone simulator, it is included in the iphone SDK)
