Three independent sources close to Apple have confirmed a large screen iPod touch device to be released in the Fall of 2009, according to TechCrunch.

One of their sources has actually handled a prototype and says Apple is talking to OEMs in Asia now about mass production. The device is expected to launch with a 7-9 inch screen and basically be a large version of the iPod touch.

TechCrunch believes that the large form factor has been experimented with for a long time; however, there were concerns that users wouldn't like the device.

The difference now is the iTunes app store, which has thousands of games and other applications that are perfect for a touch screen device with an accelerometer. Apple says more than 300 million applications have been downloaded since the App Store launched in July 2008.
