I’d like to say this is just a rumor but our folks over at Crunchgear said that their sources claim that an iPod Touch with a larger screen, perhaps a 7 or 9-incher might be launched next Fall. Another side of the story shows that Apple is already discussing with OEMs about mass producing the larger iPod Touch.

There have been prototypes already including the one pictured here but we have no confirmation whether this is true or not but Apple may be secretly working on a tablet-like gadget like this one.

I’m getting used to hearing Apple rumors now so this didn’t surprise me at all. We’ve heard of the iPhone Nano, the Snow Leopard, new Mac Mini, and the iPhone Pro already so I’m expecting more rumors to come in the next few days.
