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.

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..

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

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….

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.

@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.

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.

This is a really good read for me, Must admit that you are one of the best bloggers I ever saw.Thanks for posting this informative article.

Thanks so much for this good page;this is the kind of thing that keeps me on track through my day. I have been looking around for your site after being referred to them from a colleague and was thrilled when I found it after searching for some time. Being a avid blogger, I’m happy to see others taking initivative and contributing to the community. I just wanted to comment to show my support for your post as it is very challenging to do, and many writers do not get acknowledgment they deserve. I am sure I’ll drop by again and will send some of my friends.
