Yep, though it wouldn't surprise me if a 7" iDevice was part of the iPod Touch line - an iTouch+ perhaps - though I'd expect it to be geared more towards gaming than reading; the new chip, faster graphics, etc... of iPad2 could probably run a ~7" screen at high enough res. to be called a 'retina' display, and there's even convenient price points within the existing line-up; entry-level could be a 16Gb (there's currently no 16Gb iPod Touch remember) and if they could get a ~7-incher out for $299 I'm sure it'd be popular. Might make a great reader too...

September's the usual time for the iPods to be refreshed, so let's see.
