Another manic Monday with the rumormongers.

There have been tons and tons of rumors about the Apple tablet over the last 12 months.  Yes, Apple's foray into the touchscreen PC market is very well documented for a product that has yet to be announced.

Today we're looking at a horse of another color: The possibility of a touchscreen iMac. Digitimes reports that Apple has plans to turn its all-in-one iMac into an all-in-one touchscreen PC.

Citing a Chinese-language Commercial Times report, Digitimes says Apple will launch a 22-inch touch-enabled all-in-one PC in 2010. The new machine will add to Apple's line of iMacs, which includes a 21.5- and a 27-inch model.

Read the original report here.

    Wouldn't it be funny if this turns out to be the January 27th announcement, not a tablet!

    Of course this will be the best thing since sliced bread completely disregarding the fact that touchscreen PCs have been around for years.

    I wonder if the local restaurant will buy one of these to replace the current generation iMac it has sitting in the window doing nothing but displaying the menu.

    Has anyone seen an all-in-one touchscreen from HP/DELL actually be used for anything useful besides a cash register?

    Rumor: sunflier has either a significant mental disability or has resided on a remote end of the galaxy for years in a row...

    If this is sarcasm, it's a great one. If you're serious, just google the apple store.
