According to Tech Crunch, three independent sources "close to Apple" have confirmed that a large screen, (7 or 9 inch) iPod Touch will be released in the fall of 2009.
The "sources" have seen the prototypes and Apple is currently in talks with OEMs in Asia over mass production.
One of the sources says Apple has been experimenting with large form media devices for at least a year but concerns were that it would not sell well. Now however, with the App Store in full swing and iTunes selling movies at a fast clip, a large screen media device should sell well, especially branded by Apple.
There was no word on pricing but expect it to be around $500 USD at launch, if this rumor is true.
