Apple patent for mobile Internet device/Tablet PC uncovered

It looks like an Apple tablet PC or mobile Internet device is about ready for prime time, as shown in a recent patent application filed by Apple at the USPTO. The patent, titled “DISPLAY HOUSING FOR COMPUTING DEVICE”, shows what is obviously a touchscreen-equipped tablet with an Apple logo on its back (above is an exploded view of the device in question). If you recall, Michael Arrington of TechCrunch started a rumor just before the New Year that Apple was going to launch a “large-sized iPod touch in the fall of 2009″. Well, this perfectly fits the bill, and now the only thing left for us to ponder is what variation of OS X this computing device will run. Hopefully, more details will come up in the next few weeks/months. See more photos at the site linked below.
