engadget.com— Steve Jobs definitely loves having symmetry in his product lines, so even though this seems pretty unlikely it's not totally impossible that he'd want to bring multitouch to stuff besides the iPhone...

Haha, it's fun to watch these rumors bubble up from a single comment on a blog all the way up to something reputable like engadget - now don't get me wrong it would be cool, but I remain very skeptical
To integrate the multi-touch display with the standard use of mouse and keyboard would be a very smart move for Apple. The possibilities for desigin utilities such as Photoshop, and Apple's own "Logic" line would be mind-blowing. There have already been rumors floating around that Leopard will have multi-touch functionality built-in, as well as the yet-unnamed successor to "Logic Pro". This would be an incredibly smart direction for Apple to take.
"...unlikely it's not totally impossible..."I wouldn't not say that the description didn't have nothing that was more than one double negative. Not that it's not confusing. It just isn't not the easiest thing to understand...not.

@yournamehereI agree...The main difficulty for a multitouch keyboard is the lack of feedback on a smooth surface. It is really easy to slide your hand over a little bit, and get lost. I do wonder if they would put the multitouch part in the screen or if it would be something more like this...<a class="user" href="http://www.compulenta.ru/images/_MacNTouch.jpg">http://www.compulenta.ru/images/_MacNTouch.jpg</a>

Yes but if you get sexually excited you might end up licking the screen. Unlike the keyboard.
