It’s back! The rumor about the Apple netbook, or Apple touch screen tablet, or huge iPhone, or…you get the picture. This rumor has had many forms, but they all point to one thing, that Apple is apparently planning on releasing a netbook of sorts during Q3 2009.

Apple has shoveled a bunch more coal onto the fire that is the mythical Apple tablet by filing for another patent published for “Gestures for Touch Sensitive Input Devices.”

The patent is clearly for a device with a screen larger than that of the iPhone or the iPod Touch, but small enough to be portable. That’s a long way of saying the MacBook Touch, or at least that’s what I’m going to call it.

Details after the break.
