Fall 2009 to bring larger iPod Touches?

iPod touch
You may be sick of hearing and seeing rumors of an Apple tablet device as they have been around for as long as touch screens have (iTablet, anyone?). However, this rumor is a little bit different. Mike Arrington at TechCrunch is reporting that Apple customers should be prepared to see a 7” to 9” screen iPod Touch device sometime in the near future, most likely by fall of 2009. Supposedly, Apple is already talking to OEMs about mass production and some of TechCrunch’s sources have already gotten their hands on prototypes.

Although this device would be interesting to see, I’m not sure if it is all that plausible. There are already millions of iPod Touches and iPhones on the market, so introducing a larger, more expensive model may not be worth it. That is, unless this model also supports Mac OS X, which I would think it would have to. A 7” to 9” device isn’t really one that I want to be carrying in my pocket as simply a music playing device, that’s for sure. Take this rumor as you may, I think it will turn out to be an interesting one.
