Apple is planning to launch a large screen iPod Touch that will feature a 7-9inch screen.
A TechCrunch report says that this new large-screen iPod touch screen will be available in the fall this year (09). The report names three different independent sources.
One of these sources says that they have got one of its prototypes that Apple is considering for mass production and in talks with some Asian manufacturers in this connection.
With such size, the gadget may look like a tablet instead of an iPod , as such speculations have been circling Apple for quite long time.
During August, there were rumors all around when various Mac websites showed that a U.S patent application assented what looked like the mythical Mac tablet.
The description of that device which was discussed in that application was published by AppleInsider and it appeared to come with a great amount of multitouch functionality of the iPhone in a tablet computer.
Apple boss Steve Jobs stated earlier this year that the company had been looking for categories like Netbooks and tablets to find whether these devices really took a mega trend.
However, it’s a fact that in this Windows world, tablet PCs don’t appear to do some good business and the concept is totally on decline.
Thats really cool.Such a big screen would be comfortable to watch movies while travelling.Instead of boring Onboard Flight videos.
Should be a great release from apple
