A group of self-confessed pranksters have admitted that their mock-up of a monster HTC tablet, dubbed the Magnum, doesn’t signal the manufacturer’s release of a super ‘pocket’ PC. However, the web’s now clogged with rumours to the contrary.

Looks like a rotated touchscreen monitor - even down to the buttons on the buttom right of the frame. Hide the SVGA cable down the arm sleeve and hey presto it is a new giant touch pad...
Whether or not it is a joke, surely there must be a market for such a device? It would be great to have a tablet pc that is actually big enough to do serious work on. Hardly a pocket portable device, but I still think peple would buy these, if nothing else simply because its rediculous
