According to AppleInsider’s sources, this flickr image is the closest mockup of the Apple Tablet we’ve seen to date. And yes, it’s essentially a big, first-gen iPhone that’s “met its match with a rolling pin”.
Rather than a plastic back, AI claims the Tablet will have the same, two-tone aluminium look of the original iPhone. But while this image is thought to be close to Apple’s final design, it doesn’t sound like a full-fledged OS X will be on board. Why? The Tablet will have a Home button (along with a 10-inch screen, 3.5-mm stereo headphone jack, built-in speaker grills, a microphone, GPS, 3G connectivity and a 30-pin dock connector, if AppleInsider has it right).
Looks good to me. What about you? [AppleInsider and flickr]

I’d prefer a version of the Mac OS then the iphone OS, but we’ll just have to wait and see

Could they not just base it off the mac book air?

And it needs a pen and pen holder, a good pen as well… at least as good as a Wacom pen.
