iPad is awesome for content reading but not much impressive for content creation. This is where netbook rules where you have the power that is enough at entry level to create content just like the way you do on your desktop. Apple seems to be looking into this problem with it’s new patent that points to MacBook with multi-touch and IPS display.

If this happens, I don’t expect Apple to run a version of Mac OS X on this device with just added support for multi-touch. I expect a total overhaul with the awesomeness extracted from content reading experience of iPad and content creation usability of Mac OS X. Maybe Apple will make an ‘iOS for MacBook’.
