Breaking news, everybody: Apple's working on some stuff. The rumors are flying in all directions today, starting out fairly innocently with word from the oft-innacurate DigiTimes of an iPhone-destined 5 megapixel camera sensor. Piper Jaffray's Gene Munster piled on with an investor note saying they're giving an Apple January event a 75% chance of happening, and the tablet is squarely at 50 / 50. The most interesting word, however, comes out of the Silicon Alley Insider, who is quoting a "plugged-in source in the mobile industry" who says that Apple is working with some select app makers on prepping high-res apps to demo on a "new, larger mobile device." The device would be shown in January but not available at that time -- presumably in wait for these redesigned apps to mature (at WWDC, perhaps (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/21/apple-already-locking-down-dates-for-iphone-announcement-at-wwdc/)?). While that rumor is being piled in with the ever-present tablet hubbub, if we were to read between the lines we'd say it sounds more like a higher-resolution iPhone in the style of Google's Nexus one or Motorola's Droid -- both of which are making the iPhone's 320 x 480 screen look a tad archaic. Certainly more likely than Apple releasing "several tablets (http://www.engadget.com/2009/11/19/apple-tablet-s-in-2h-2010-with-oled-screen-and-tailored-content/)" to match up with all the disparate rumors we've seen of the 7-inch / 9-inch (http://www.engadget.com/2009/09/15/apple-tablet-rumors-strike-back-9-6-inch-with-hsdpa-coming-feb/) / 10-inch (http://www.engadget.com/2009/12/09/analyst-noise-apple-tablet-in-march-for-1k-publishers-on-boar/) unicorn device.Apple planning event for January, with high-res iPhone or small-sized tablet in tow?
