CUPERTINO, Calif., Aug. 24 (UPI) -- U.S. computer giant Apple has filed for a patent for a touch-screen computer that also has mouse and keyboard capabilities, documents show.
EWeek reported Tuesday that Patently Apple, a company watchdog, discovered Apple had filed for a patent for a dual-input computer in Europe in July 2009.
The patent application, published Jan. 14, says, "While touch-based input is suited to many applications, conventional styles of input, such as mouse/keyboard-based input, may be preferred in other applications". UPI
