720x480 iPhone/iPod Touch Tablets coming

Intel Germany World's managing director Hannes Schwaderer just revealed what a lot of people have been predicting.  A larger iPod Touch and iPhone is on the way and powered by the intel Atom Processors.  According to ZDNet Germany, Schwaderer said the devices will sport a Nokia N810-like 720x480 resolution.  If all of the other rumors are true, this will be one nice little media playing device.

Will we see this device at WWDC?  We hope so!

 

Update: Intel is backpedalling like crazy from the German's remarks which means that Apple is (rightfully) furious or the head of Intel Germany doesn't know what products their processors are going into.

I hope it accepts a pen and has handwriting recognition capabilities like the Newton. It should also sport a mini-DVI outlet to plug it into a projector for classes.

I think this is a rumor - but looks like a sweet idea

Did anyone say it was

Did anyone say it was anything but a rumor? It hasn't been confirmed, hence it is a rumor.

It is from a Intel press conference that took place last year.

The photo is not real, but who thought that ? The item it describes is real (hopefully, need to keep pilling up those quarters to a huge tower now)

looks real to me (considering it is 100% real), it is not an iPhone, just an intel prototype.

How much?

Does anybody know where I can sell a kidney?

Yeah, your mother was looking to buy one. She told me... ;)

Hey!

Dawn, you better watch your filthy mouth! Don't you talk about my mother that way! I know she did not tell you that she wanted to buy a kidney...

The photo is real. Its the generic mock-up intel made for their trade show which showed off possible devices based on their atom processor they are pushing. The photo is real but the device doesn't work.
Just a mock-up. A very good one though.

dhe didn't reveal the size.

dhe didn't reveal the size. It's an hypothesis by ZDNet

OK, could somebody enlighten

OK, could somebody enlighten me as to what would be the use of such a gadget.

Maybe its a new remote for the Apple TV?

Already denied by Intel

Intel has already denied this rumor to a german website: http://www.fscklog.com/2008/05/intel-stellt-an.html

nice try...

Oh nice try DombDiTock. That page is in German. It says Intel confirms and validates said claim!

Confirmed!

I spoke to Steve Jobs last night who confirmed to me over the phone that this device indeed exists. The resolution is actually higher than 720x480 though. I can't disclose the true resolution because of a NDA I signed. But I can say that the device slides out... you will find out in about 3 weeks what that means.

In the meantime, buy more AAPL shares. It's on its way up. I am long on AAPL right now, and its the best investment I ever made! I just regret donating away all my original Apple shares from way back. But then again, back then I just wanted to go to UC Berkeley and get my EE degree.

You know, looking back since the days of the Apple II+ and the original Integer Basic that I wrote (by hand), we've come a long way. We now have dual core 2 processors when I was originally programming for the MOS 8-bit 6502 processor. Boy those were the days.

Remember my friends, but AAPL. It is going up!
