It is not a real news day for the tech and financial press if there is not a new rumor about Apple (AAPL).

The latest speculation is the the consumer electronics company will come out with a small portable Mac with a touchscreen like the one used on the firm’s iPhone.

According to Reuters, “Apple will take third-quarter delivery of newly developed 10-inch touchscreens from Taiwan.” No one is willing to speculate that they might be used to build hub caps.
