Rumor: Apple Has Another Tablet In The Works. More Like A Mac Than An iPhone.

I was worried there, for a few days, that the industry would run out of semi-arbitrary topics to which to devote ridiculous amounts of speculation time, during the doldrums before iPad 1.0 is released

Before the iPad was revealed last week, rumors circulated for a long time that Apple might be working on two different sizes for the screen of the device. Some had the device as small as 7″, others were saying it would go up to 10.6″. (The actual size of the iPad is 9.7″.) But the information we’re hearing is that Apple is thinking much larger for another version of the product, maybe all the way up to the 15.4″ size that it currently uses for one version of the MacBook Pro. If you think that would be way too big for an iPad, we’re also hearing that this other tablet would be quite a bit different from the one revealed last week. Namely, it could run a version of OS X much closer to the traditional version that runs on Macs.
