A reliable source has apparently spilled some details about Apple’s rumored upcoming MacBook Touch. The source touts the Touch as a “fusion” device, combining the worlds of the MacBook and the iPhone with a 9″ touch screen.

An iPhone emulator will allow users to buy and use applications from the App Store. The source claims there will be no camera, which seems slightly unlikely if the Touch is to include iSight, such as the MacBook notebooks do. Apps downloaded on the Touch will be allowed duplication with only the iPhone 3GS, and on only one device per Touch. Hit the jump for more.

Despite the shitty economy, Verizon is still pushing ahead with it’s deal to purchase the nation’s fifth-largest wireless telecom provider, Alltel Corp. Verizon is still meeting with the Justice department in an attempt to keep everything kosher, especially considering the size of the deal. You can bet it won’t give up though: if the deal goes through, Verizon will regain the title of “largest wireless provider” in the country. Right now the deal is still stalled but anything could happen in such turbulent times.

Oh and the cost for Alltel? A sweet 28.1 billion dollars.
