Assessing the Wild Card in the iPhone Rollout

I have bought and sold Apple shares over the past years and I've made a lot of money on those, even with the dip early this year. I have now invested most of my money in AAPL, because I think they will do even better. Better sales of Macs, more iPhones, lots of iPods. I have just upgraded my iPod touch to 2.0, and I can see the importance of apps to the future of AAPL. These apps will attract a lot of people to iPhones and iPod touch, because they make the device very versatile. Now imagine Apple coming out with a bigger iPod touch, let's call it a Mactouch. A bigger screen, but with the same neat touch interface as the iPhone. This will be the next generation of computing, I'm sure. AAPL will double or triple its footprint in computers immediately. When will this happen? Within a year or two. Why so fast? Because the interface is ready, the only thing that needs to be done is to adapt programs like Word, Excel and others to accept the new way of computing, by touch.
