Fancy playing games on a 9-inch iPod touch?
Then 2009 might turn out to be a good year
Generally we don’t like to get too involved in hardware rumours (we prefer games gossip and celebrity slander), but when tittle-tattle of a large form iPod touch wafts in on the New Year’s lavender scented breeze, it’s hard not to pay close attention.
TechCrunch apparently has it from three reliable sources (one of which has had its hands on the prototype) that Apple is currently scouring Asia for a manufacturer to bring its new seven- or nine-inch large form iPod touch to mass production.
Apple’s experimented with tablets quite a lot in the past, and obviously it’s seen considerable success with its ultra-stylish notebooks, but the potential for a thrice-gorgeous nine-inch iPod touch speaks volumes as pictures form in your mind.
Quite what sort of cost we’d be looking at, considering the already lip-biting price tag of the 3.5-inch version, we’re not sure, but who wouldn’t want to fondle its bigger brother in all that multi-touch, glass-fronted glory?
The rumour suggests we could be looking at an autumn debut for the iPod mega touch, so keep a close eye out for more news as we get it. Eep!
