For those who are wishing to have the MacBook Air or iPhone touch screen features in their iMacs, you’ll be glad to know that Troll Touch has released a user-installable SlipCOVER touchscreen for these machines. Troll Touch, for those who are not aware, provides Apple with touchscreen system for its hardware.
The new SlipCOVERs for the 20 and 24 inch aluminum iMacs feature a high-resolution, analog resistive touchscreen technology that allows fingertip, gloved hand or stylus driven controls for the iMacs. The system is composed of a touch sensitive overlay that can be used in place of the iMac’s display glass. And to make it work as a touch screen system, you just have to connect it to your iMac using a USB cable. You don’t have to worry about altering the appearance of your iMac when you use the SlipCOVER, as it will be barely noticeable.
To have the new SlipCOVER installed on your iMac, Troll Touch is giving two options; you can either buy the complete SlipCOVER system from the company or have your iMac sent to Troll Touch’s office and have it modified for you. The SlipCOVER is available for $699 for the 20-inch aluminum iMac and $899 for the 24-inch version.

The price hurts but the potential is definitely there. There have been times where I just want to use a touch-screen interface on my iMac and this would be perfect. Multi-touch would be great as well
Everything about that is awesome, except for the price…
