Apple Patent Points To iMac Touch Running OS X and iOS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the because-they-can dept.

siliconbits noted an interesting little tale of a recently surfaced Apple Patent covering an iMac Touch with a flex base that switches from iOS to OS X based on orientation. There's some interesting food for thought in there ... I can't decide if I like the idea or not.

    Can we please call the iPhone OS something different? Cisco sold the original IOS years before Apple. Capitalization doesn't create a strong enough distinction. It just looks wrong.
