Could it be another go at the Newton? Could it be My iTablet? Or could it be a MacBook Touch? Maybe an Apple UMPC?

Right now no one knows for sure, what is known is that there are reports of a touchscreen device that is larger than the iPhone with a bigger, better, multi-touch touchscreen. What is also known is that the engineers from this project have on occasion taken time off from this project to work on the iPhone, which means to some extent, they are interchangeable. It could be an Apple UMPC, wouldn’t that be great.

The reports say that the device is only about one and a half times the size of the iPhone, so a new Newton sounds like the most probably this time. However this does also show that Apple is willing to spread their highly successful multi-touch technology around. That combined with some patents we have seen for reducing the space required for some things coming out of Cupertino, means that the other two, an iTablet and a MacBook Touch, aren’t completely out of the question. I know I am keeping my fingers crossed, I just don’t see a market for a PDA, especially when they have the iPhone, but I would definitely buy an iTablet or MacBook Touch.Rumor: Apple Newton making a comeback?
