Apple Tablet Mockup Photos Gain Attention

sound advice... but it's so pretty! even though these photos are fake, i bet the tablet is going to look just as sexy. (and i don't want one either...)
Why are you so quick to say it's a fake just because the keyboard is invisible?
This is the new MacBook with Vampire Keyboard(TM) that Steve will announce tomorrow. In recognition of the Twilight movies, and to appeal to the teen girl demographic, the keyboard acts like a Vampire, and cannot be seen in a reflection.
Steve is a genius. And you dare to question?
Of course it's a fake. But I think it's legit in the sense that I could picture the tablet looking like this. And I'd be quite happy
Well done
Well donw to all those spotting the images dubiousness through its "shopped" bits..
Personally I thought It was obvious it was a fake,
After all, the real one must come with a built in cup holder surely? How else would you wander around with your coffee in the morning on the way to the office?
I expect the sandwich holder would be an add-on though! You know apple and their must have upgrades..
Wheaty

islate.com is owned by apple?
Hi, I did a godaddy serach for the domain and saw that islate.com is managed through a company called "markmonitor.com". Out of curiosity, i checked apple.com and it is manged through markmonitor.com as well.
I thought Id mention it. Not sure, could be a coincidence.

Since all of these mockups are coming out as expected a few days before the release, I got to thinking about this time three years ago when all of the iPhone fakes were circulating. Out of curiosity, does anyone have any of the original iPhone fakes to compare to the actual product we know now? It would be interesting to compare how close the iPhone and tablet mockups are to the real deal.
You don't waste your life on rumor sites, but you go to the effort of creating a new account just to say collaborate what eveyone is saying?
What a full life you must lead.
At least this one was actually powered on:
Of all the ones I've seen - even those new ones on the front page - I think this one could be the one, but it could be just an early stage prototype given it's got two Home buttons that are clearly visible.
As for the newest one on the front page, having the dock connector bottom center makes sense considering that you'd want to have that tablet in such a position - sitting on a dock or cradle - and using it with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse to make it more like having a "real computer," basically.
We'll find out in 24... oh, make that 23 hours and 55 minutes, at least from this post.

Sigh. This is a known actual tablet by another company. It appeared on engadget some time ago. It has nothing to do with Apple.
Just to add a little more evidence to the already compelling reasons why this is fake:
Picture 1: if you zoom in you can see this has been taken with some sort of camera phone or similar due to the noise generated by the sensor. That noise comprises chroma noise and luminance noise. In trying to make the render mesh with the original photo, only luminance noise has been added to the tablet. If you look at the noise in the black surround of the MBP screen there is clearly blue and purple chroma noise, none of which exists in the tablet. Also the aluminium on the tablet doesn't pick up the blue glare from the display along the screen side. The colour should be much colder closer to the display but instead it has a yellowish hue if anything.
100% render job.

Nothing to do with Apple yet the Home key has a familiar "square" on it... interesting, since nobody else has such a button that I've ever seen, much less with a white square on it.
As stated, we'll find out tomorrow.
But then again...
Do your school textbooks have built in keyboards? How about your chalkboard/whiteboard? Your notebooks?
Very observant.
The whole big iPhone thing makes no sense to me.
I'm all for a touch screen devise but the renderings and mockups have no imagination and show no innovation.
I really hope it is way more than these pics suggest.
But if I have to buy some kind of phone service to get it at a reasonable price I'm not a buyer anyway.
Tick tock
There are some pretty convincing Chinese knockoffs of the iPhone, doesn't surprise me that someone else would try to cash in on the tablet rumors and use designs very close to Apple's.
But as for this articles pictures, they're cool mockups but obviously fake. The drop shadows aren't convincing at all, at the very least.
Apple has a patent that deals with accidental touches and resting hands...they have thought of everything so you dont have to.
You have no interest for something you know nothing about...
I'm sure you did well in school.
