Tablet Comic Reader from Apple?

You can already get comics on iPhone, but what about a bigger 'comic reader' from Apple in time for Christmas?

Various web sites, including IT Pro, are reporting rumours that the cash rich Mac makers may soon be launching a 'tablet' computer, prompted by a report in the Financial Times suggested the tablet computer would tie in with plans to sell albums, as part of a new deal with record labels. (Apple has partnered with EMI, Warner Music, Sony and Universal Music on a new project, codenamed 'Cocktail', to develop a new digital album format embedding interactive extras with the music, which would include videos, photos, lyrics and songs not otherwise available).

The device itself would have a 10-inch screen, the anonymous source said, and would likely connect to the internet in the same way the iPod Touch does, the FT suggested.
