I think the 10" iPhone or iTablet or whatever you want to call it makes perfect sense.

And, I would buy one.

A 10" Mac using a variant of the iPhone OS (iPhone 2.0, for example) would be golden for me. All the tricks the iPhone can do, but in a larger screen? Hells yeah.

And, while I can see it having e-book software (including Amazon's Kindle app), it doesn't make sense -- to me -- for Apple to release an e-book reader. Sell books on the iTunes store? Sure. Read books through iTunes? Sure. A dedicated device? I really don't see it happening.

Now, if Apple partnered with Amazon to enable you to buy Kindle books via iTunes . . .
