"The next iPod will be huge, an eight pounder with 10" screen"
I guess most people will know where this qoute came from, and who it came from. Yea that's right, it was Steve! A bit of a joke that he made @ macworld this year to show of the podcast studio in GarageBand. His own podcast. He said, "I've got some pretty good sources inside apple, and this is what i'm hearing. The next iPod will be huge, an eight pounder with a ten inch screen"!
Ok maybe it's a small chance, but was Steve hinting at something. Possibly a new device to come from apple! After the MacBook.
Something with a 10" screen! Now what could that be I wonder ??
MacTablet perhaps! A different take on the iPod theme ?? Or maybe something completely new!

No. It was completely a joke.

MacTablet, wait and see!
A device with a 10" screen weighing 8lbs is nasty heavy. That's heavier than a 17" Powerbook. This is not fun, totable, usable or interesting.
A device with a 10" screen weighing 2.5lbs (about half what an iBook weighs)? That seems a lot more palateable.
The original quote was a complete jest and nothing more.
ps - I've used tablets in the Windows world extensively in the past and weight is a big factor in whether these things get used as the fantasy dictates.

OH I know the wight is way too much, I just meant the size!
10" is a nice size, and 10" is about the size of those pics in all the patents we've seen recently, much bigger than a video iPod!
