I don't think they'll release a device that isn't pocketable. Good points here, I think you are right that Apple isn’t going to do a large tablet.

I know this is wishful thinking, but I can dream, can't I?? My fear is that this will just turn out to be Apple's take on the Kindle or some other sort of dedicated or limited type of device; ie, ebook reader + movies/music videos, etc.... Not saying this is bad, or wouldn't be successful, just not what I wish for.... Just my 2¢ as we say.... Happy New Year!

I'd like to replace it with a 7" pad running either iPhone OS or Android: something that isn't (necessarily) a phone, but is focused on web content, preferably with a reasonable camera on it, WiFi and also Bluetooth, with option to use a BT keyboard. But I'd settle for a 5" screen running 800x480. Bring it on! My 1st-gen iPod Touch is winding down its useful life.

If PA Semi have come up with something more powerful than current platforms, it would well fit into the 7"+ space better than anything else. Listening to Twit podcast today, Robert Scoble and Kevin Rose appear almost convinced that it's a larger tablet-style device. This is defaintely something to consider, you’re right.

I would guess that they have not been resting in the years since being purchased by Apple. Who knows what they may have come up with. Apple owns a chip manufacturer (PA Semi).

Not at all interested in the former. And, if the 10" one doesn't come out, I'll almost certainly end up buying a Notion Ink Adam, or a EnTourage eDGe, instead. I’ve heard two rumors:

6″/7″ iPhone OS X based tablet
