Rumored Apple Netbook Actually an E-book?
Reports that Apple is developing a new touchscreen device are picking up traction and credibility.

Consensus seems to be that Apple (AAPL) has ordered 10-inch touchscreens from Wintek - the Taiwanese outfit that manufactures the smaller screens used in its iPhone and iPod Touch - and that those screens are destined for an entirely new device. Netbook is the word most often bandied about for it, but given its size and function, I wonder if it's not more of a tablet. Or e-book reader. There's nothing much on which to base that theory, aside from another rumor that's been making the rounds lately, as recounted by Andy Ihnatko of the Chicago Sun-Times.
