Apple to launch a 7″ or 9″ iPod touch for the Cloud?

My FPI findings rate Apple as the one closest to making a massive impact to Cloud Computing. A launch like this is only inevitable, however we should not forget that Apple will have to do more than what it does now, if it wants all of those pies, i.e both Public and Private Clouds.

Apple has been experimenting internally with large form tablet devices for years, one source says, but there was concern that users wouldn’t like the device. The difference now is the iTunes app store, which has thousands of games and other applications that are perfect for a touch screen device with an accelerometer. Apple says more than 300 million applications have been downloaded since the App Store launched in July 2008. Combine the App Store, iTunes and a browser and you have one heck of a device.

We don’t have any information on pricing. The current iPod touch, with a 3.5 inch screen, starts at $229. The 32 GB model is $399. We expect the price on the larger iPod touch to be significantly higher.
