Apple patent could pave way for "convertible" MacBook-iPad hybrid device


Apple has recently won several patents for mobile and touch devices, including one of particular note which depicts a Macbook-like mobile device with a screen that slides down and over the tactile to keyboard to form an iPad-like touch device.

 

For those of you that just can't decide between the iPad and MacBook Air, this may be just what you're after - although it's unclear whether this would be an iOS or full-blown Mac OS X mobile device, if it indeed every comes to fruition.

i think this is an old patent that finally made its way online... it would go against what steve said in the unveiling of the mac book air.
