Ten new details about the Apple Tablet have surfaced on the Internet, stating they are from a "trusted source". The leaked information provides a look into what consumers could see in 2010 from Apple. If the information is accurate, we will see a 10" iPod Touch like tablet device.According to iLounge.com, the list of ten items indicates that the Apple tablet device, iPad as they call it, will be very similar to a giant 10" iPod touch. The device runs the same operating system as the iPhone and iPod touch, coming in two variations, one with 3G capabilities and one without. The tablet is said to have a higher resolution, expected to be five to six times larger than that of the iPhone and iPod touch.
The device is intended for media purposes, web surfing, gaming, applications and reading. The tablet isn't meant to compete with netbooks or laptops, but be used as a portable media device. The source of the information claims Apple will announce the device details on or before January 19, 2010. The estimated release date is May or June, around the same time Apple released their previous iPhone line ups.
But I am not sure if it is real or not.

Heh, I can give you a few reasons as to why that isn't real. Firstly, it's got an iPod app as well as both the Music/Video iPod touch apps (defeating the purpose). The icons to the right aren't aligned well, either. Also, I notice there's a Phone app on it… good luck to anybody making a phone call with that thing D:

Sure, you could go into all that, or you could note that the picture's filename is imaginary-itablet.jpg.
You mean 6, three on the top.

Also the simple fact that the screen is a lot bigger than 10 inches, or else that guy is tiny.
I'm not sure if Apple will make a "big" iPhone for a tablet. That will make them compete against themselves. I see no point if there isn't an OSX-run computer.
But I am not sure if it is real or not.
Look on left there's a tablet screen hinge and cool warped edges on the top lol
lol.. the windows control panel aint that bad.. but.. if thats the real apple tablet.. Did anyone say uuuuuuuuugly!

…well played, sir.
So I could install real programs.
It should be like the Courier concepts, really. Something in between.
Why not the same OS? iPhone runs on OSX doesn't it? Nobody said same interface, just same OS.
However OS X on the iPhone is a stripped down version and not binary compatible with the Mac version of OS X for running applications.
So all the Mac users that were dreaming of finally using a nice tablet running Photoshop and drawing on the screen, will once again have to go buy a TabletPC and run the Windows version of Photoshop.
Which is what graphic designers in the Windows world have been doing for over 7 years now. Windows TabletPC + Graphic design = awesome experience, especially when using natural media painting software like Corel Painter.
Apple underestimated the iPhone in terms of games and media and are now introducing an iPhone like device with a more suitable screen for games and media..
I can't wait...
I'd rather go with a courier. Man I can't wait for that to come out.

check out this site it is a more realistic "ipad" and there is a better chance of this being the released version
Here is a tip for people considering this, look instead at a flip screen touch netbook running Windows7 or a new generation UMPC running Windows7 that is a slate tablet design.
Then you have a full media player and a full freaking computer and can run ANY of your applications, even games like WoW, not just cute iPhone Games that are glorified games from the 90s era of gaming.
PS The touch netbooks and smaller slate tables are not 'rumors', these device already exist and are awaiting the Win7 release date to debut.
W7 is a hog, maybe not as much as Vista, but not as good as XP, and you don't see XP on any phones, do you. Not even these days, when a lot of smartphones are faster than the XP launch computers.
Windows XP, Vista, & 7 do not run on ARM architecture. That's why you don't see them on smartphones. However, Microsoft has Windows CE that runs on smartphones and ARM-based embedded systems.
Could be worse. They could be running that bloated Linux OS. Man that thing is slow. It gets bigger and bigger every year. Linus hates it.
