Wall street analyst says that there is 50-50 chance that Apple will introduce new multitouch devices at WWDC. “We believe there is 50% chance that a new form factor will be introduced, marking Apple’s entrance into the emerging “MID” market,” American Technology Research analyst Shaw Wu wrote in a report. “Our sources indicate 4-inch and 7-inch touchscreen devices beyond prototype stage that are a cross between a Mac and iPod touch.” It has been rumored for quite sometime now that Apple is working on a handheld device that will be slightly larger than the iPhone and iPod touch and will have a multitouch screen. According to Shaw Wu it is inevitable that Apple will bring more touchscreen devices to market and he bets somewhat on an introduction at WWDC. Shaw Wu also believes that there will be two models of the iPhone at WWDC, the 3G iPhone for $399 and $499 and a revised 2.5G version that will sell for $50 to $100 less. In just three more days, we will come know exactly what Steve Jobs will announce at WWDC.
