[読んだ] Apple's Tablet Will Be a Super-Sized iPhone or iPod touch

One of the most significant open questions about Apple's much-rumored tablet may have been settled -- which operating system it will run. According to a new report, this device will be based on the iPhone OS, not Mac OS X.

Citing one of its most reliable sources, iLounge is reporting that this will not be a scaled down laptop. Instead, it will be a scaled up smartphone or handheld. It will let users browse the Web; check their email; play music, video, and games; and read e-books. 

またiPhone OS説が浮上してきました。

The Apple tablet rumors are coming so thick and fast now that the big surprise would be for Apple not to announce one. The austere and reliable Financial Times has just thrown into the game with an article which confirms a September release for the new oversized iPod Touch, a timing which ties in nicely to Apple’s yearly September iPod announcements.

The device will “probably” have a ten-inch screen and come without a cell connection. Somewhat bizarrely, the FT describes it as being pitched at rejuvenating sales of the multi-song music album. “It’s all about re-creating the heyday of the album when you would sit around with your friends looking at the artwork, while you listened to the music,” a source told the FT. How will this happen? Liner notes and artwork on the big 10-inch screen.

Financial Timesの記事にさらっと書いてあった「9月に発表予定のTablet」って誤記かとおもって触れませんでしたが、むむむ……。
9月はiPodシリーズの新ラインナップに加え、iTunes Music Storeでの新しいアルバム販売サービス、さらにタブレット発表ですか!?
熱い夏になりそうですね。
