The iPod Tablet...... what will it look like?


In the race to bigger, more powerful mobile devices, Apple ought to take a lesson from Amazon.

First, the rumor: Apple’s rumored touchscreen tablet device got more traction today in a Financial Times article stating that the device will take its first bow in time for the holiday buying season.

The device, which is rumored to resemble an enlarged iPod touch, is expected to be roughly 10-inches in size and run on the iPhone operating system. Naturally, the driver for such a device is the App Store, the established, easy-to-use content pipeline that makes spending money easier than taking a $10 bill out of your wallet and lighting it on fire.

In other words, Apple is about to debut, in so many words, an ‘iPod touch DX’: an enlarged, more fully-featured version of an already popular mobile device. Basically, what the Amazon Kindle DX is to the Kindle 2.
