Larger iPod Touch In Apple's Future?

Posted by samzenpus on from the is-there-heat-in-taco's-future dept.

Ender_Stonebender writes "TechCrunch is reporting that three independent sources have mentioned to them a large form factor version of the iPod Touch, with either a 7- or 9-inch screen, to be released fall of 2009. The device is expected to have access to the iTunes App Store. Beyond that, everything about it appears to be pure speculation."

    Does this mean we'll also see people talking on 9" iPhones?

      I think a faster smaller iPod Touch might put a large dent into the sub-notebook market. All Apple has to do is give it's iPod Touch a better keyboard, more speed and more battery life, hence the larger size.

      How about making it a cube? It'd be like a normal Mac, except in cube form, has anyone tried that?
