Shaw Wu: Apple may be preparing to reveal subnotebook and Mac touchscreen – or not

Shaw Wu of Kaufman Bros. said today in a note to investors that the event of the 20th could bring a completely revamped MacBook Air. “Our checks with sources in the production chain over the past 69 months indicate evidence of a new subnotebook format. We thought it would be launched earlier this year, but we believe it can see the light of day as the new MacBook Air, ”he wrote.

In the meantime, other sources have confirmed that the development of “truly” multi-touch Macs would be underway at Apple, facilitated by the cheaper components due to the iPad's scale of production. "We are not sure if this technology is ready for a debut, but maybe we will get a peek (on Wednesday)." And maybe Jobs will use an orange ruffled tuxedo to present the keynote, according to the voices that whisper in the shadows of my sources.

Finally, Wu said that the next version of the iLife suite (“sources indicate that it has been thoroughly tested”) and a preview of Mac OS X 10.7 “Lion” will be presented, in addition to possible speed updates on the MacBooks and MacBooks Pro lines. I am beginning to think that his job is to summarize the news of blogs for investors who do not follow the rumors of the medium.

Does anyone know how I can send my resume to Kaufman?
