“Mac/iMac touch” device gaining momentum, Apple post jobs for multi-touch engineers!

The best solidifying piece of proof that we will be having multi-touch Macs in the very near future are a few Apple job postings for teams and senior engineers for “…supporting Multi-touch panel development with Mac and iPod hardware…”. That’s a direct quote from the official posting folks.

So it seems the rumors of touch Macs @ Macworld may be a lil far off right now (TheMNT bets on iPhone 2.o, iTunes HD and Movie Rentals, and a revision of the Mac Pro lines), but you bet that there is hardware and concepts in Cupertino slated to be the first multi-touch Mac for consumers.

Here are the two postings @ Apple: Reliability Engineer and Senior Hardware Engineer – Touch Technology.
