Touchscreen iMac a reality with user-installed device (VIDEO)
The SlipCOVER by Troll Touch is a user-installable touchscreen newly available in sizes designed specifically for the current Apple 20 and 24 inch aluminum iMacs.
Both sizes feature a high resolution, analog resistive touchscreen technology which supports user input via fingertip, gloved hand or stylus. The products consist of a touch sensitive overlay that replaces the iMac’s display glass and connects via a custom designed USB cable. Once the SlipCOVER is installed, the iMac does not appear to have been modified. Unfortunately, there appears to be no support for “multi-touch” using the SlipCOVER–that’s something we will have to look for from Apple.
The 20 inch aluminum iMac SlipCOVER Touchscreen System sells for USD$699, while the 24 inch aluminum iMac SlipCOVER Touchscreen System goes for USD$899. Troll Touch also provides touch interface solutions for 20, 23 and 30 inch Apple Cinema displays, MacBooks, all previous iMac generations, the eMac, and both the 12 and 14 inch iBook models.
