Apple Developing Max OS X-based Apple iPad?

Tweet

Less than a week after its initial revelation, the world seems to have their mind made up about the Apple iPad.  Those who feel that this iPad is underwhelming may want to take note, as Apple may be working on a full-service Mac OS X-based version of the iPad.

The people at TechCrunch are hearing that Apple may be in development of a larger iPad that runs on the full version of the OS X platform and features a significant increase in display size.  Even before the Apple press conference last week, rumors suggested that Apple was in development of two tablets.

How hard could it be to release another, more powerful iPad anyway?  Apple has already handled the more difficult tasks of developing the processor, the battery, the multi-touch display and the unit’s case,  so it is safe to assume they could expand this into a greater size with a bit more processing firepower.  If Apple released a 15.3-inch iPad that runs OS X on a dual-core A4 processor, would the product have taken such heat from the media?  Perhaps not as much, but the name alone still leaves plenty to be desired.

Should Apple release this new, upgraded version of the Apple iPad that has been rumored, what might they call it?  Perhaps since it is a maximized version of the iPad, they could refer to it as “Max”… iPad?  Sorry, we couldn’t resist.
