I have some good news! I just came across an article that states Apple has filed a patent for a new iPad Multi-Touch keyboard. It is being developed by John Elias, cofounder of FingerWorks. Could this be the beginning of the new TouchStream we have been waiting the last 9 years for? Fingers crossed (but not too much or my RSI will start to act up).
I'm glad to see that they are *finally* doing something in the keyboard area! It's no surprise that they are going to use it for the iPad first. Perhaps a desktop model will follow, and (*really* perhaps) that desktop model could be used with non-Macs as well... but that is probably still a few years away. Hoping, hoping...!

I truly hope this becomes a product, but Apple has a tendency to file for a patent, but not necessarily moving in to a full product sold to consumers. I especially hope that it'll have bluetooth support. I remember how there were many people wanted a wireless Touchstream of some sort. I would definitely get one and carry it with my MacBook Pro.
