I wonder how many tablets have these guys sold and is Apple monitoring the sales so they can decide to make on of their own.

If they used the same screen it would be terrible as the viewing angle is not good.

Tablets require an adequate viewing angle (for obvious reasons)

I haven't seen one out in the real world. I'm curious about the sales numbers too.

Wow, that does look like a decent deal. Basically, for approx. $1200 you can convert your Black or Whitebook into a mac tablet.
