A TV is 100% going to happen.

Who knows past that. Touch screen addition to the iMacs most likely will too.

Indeed Lion is the build up to touch screens on the Imac i think as it is set out as if it is touch screen interface.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.

I don't think touch screens will be on desktop or laptop machines. You don't sit near enough the screen for it to be that useful.

Agreed, I hate those AIO units with a touch screens, but because other OEM's are pushing it some people keep saying Apple will/need/eventually may do so, to 'stay relevant' - however Apple have the art of saying NO down to a fine art. Now Jobs is gone, we'll see how/if they continue to say NO.

What's the evolution of the Mac or OSX going to be? Is everyone going to have an iPad with a dock, that's also a large monitor with keyboard/Magic track pad?

Sometimes I find touchscreens hard to use because my fingertips may be moist (sweat/water not ejaculation  :grin:) so I hope the traditional PC with it's mouse and keyboard aren't replaced. I rather tap at hardware keys than software, much easier.
