Default {cNet}Rumor: Widescreen iPod Touch in the works?
If repost, please delete. I searched

Quote:
Apple is expected to release an iPod Touch device with a 7- to 9-inch screen in the fall of 2009, according to a report on TechCrunch that cites three independent sources.
One of TechCrunch's sources claims to have actually handled one of the prototypes, and Apple is talking with manufacturers in Asia about mass production of the device, according to the report.
Certainly at that size, the device would be more of a tablet than an iPod, and tablet rumors have been floating around Apple for years.
There was a fury of speculation in August after a number of Mac sites pointed to a U.S. patent application granted for what would appeared to be the mythical Mac tablet. AppleInsider published a description of the device discussed in the application, which appears to bring a lot of the iPhone's multitouch functionality to a slate-like tablet computer.
Earlier this year, CEO Steve Jobs implied Apple was watching small-device categories like tablets and Netbooks to see if they actually take off as a mega-trend. But Jobs has also quickly shot down talk of an Apple-produced competitor to Amazon's Kindle, which has been interpreted as a sign Apple was doing just that.
However, tablet PCs in the Windows world haven't sold very well, and the concept has almost completely fallen off the radar screen of the PC industry.
Not really sure if this is it:





I wouldnt buy one lol.

7-9 inch means its either going to be a netbook or really, really wide. (Think 30:9)


And that isn't it. I held my iPod touch up to my screen and its literally the exact same size!

My thoughts although I doubt the price would be in the category of the netbooks.
