Could be, but a tablet by definition would be basically a screen form factor, and therefore there is not much esthetically you can do with that to make it radically different unless they have a folding OLED or something. I'm excited to find out!

A lot of people use stands for their iPhones for status updates like weather, clocks, alarms and so on.
The tablet stand would make sense for the same thing along with bluetooth keyboard.
Also there are integrated camera that moves around, it's not always fixed.
You people do realize there'll be two models, like iPhone/iPod Touch?
Tegra2 does include an interface to allow a cellular modem, they just don't include it. The problem is that it's a SoC design, meaning everything is in one package, they can't include a single package with a cellular modem that works around the world. So they leave the modem out allowing the vendor to include their own and have one single design for the rest of the world.
It's 700$ for an unlocked phone in US as well, the 199$ comes with 2 years contract. Not all countries have a single exclusive carrier for the iPhone like the US:ATT, in those countries, the iPhones are unlocked and sell for those kind of prices.
You have to sometimes question the rationale of some of the posters here. Either they are just emotionally caught up when they're posting or they actually believe is some all controlling superpower who can fire partner CEO's
He simply confirmed something everyone already knew. No one is getting fired and deals aren't being terminated as a result of this conference. Let's get real here.

The patent calls for two screens side to side that can be also flipped to be opposite.
That said, how close can two screens be together these days? 1/4"?
Several posters have said the tangible advantages of vertical format on iPhones. I agree. There used to be HxV flippable displays and they spent more time V. H is a HD movie thing. We have a TV for that.
Show me a near zero space display interface. Please.

The one who broke NDA.
I don't care how big they are, they are under NDA if they know anything about this device at all. He was an idiot to say anything.
His only hope is that he really doesn't know anything, and really did mis-speak. It's possible, however unlikely.
How you know he was under NDA, or if even, Apple have approached the company.
The amount of crap spewed on this story forum is just unreal, bordering on spite ; All because this someone was French.
This has to be one of the ugliest forum topic I've ever read. Most definitely the dark side of Macrumors.

If that's true, the interviewer in this case was apparently in on the plan, asking the leading question to produce the "slip."

Not sure about which patent you are talking about and I doubt it will be a dual screen book form.
I have wondered though, whether Apple will make the iSlate vertical oriented by default with the home button, or landscape default! By iPhone logic it would make sense that they would orient it vertically and you would just turn it when watching movies like now. Especially since the e-book thing will be a big part of it. All of that would be in vertical I think. It is odd though, I always just imagine myself playing on it in landscape mode since it seems more computer like. Can't wait to see what it is really like FINALLY after all these years!
I just listened this extract and believe to get the right understanding as I am a native french speaker. We can reasonably assume that he was actually just acknowledging to the questions, without presuming he is aware of something.
The question refers to a newspaper article and we can see he has read this article as everybody, and confirms that yes Orange would be interested to sell this device if it was launched.
It's obviously not a mistake as he is very relaxed and calm when telling this, he's #2 at orange and would't be that dumb.
That's my humble opinion guys...

Too bad he already confirmed what I said, he was only confirming rumors, just as I said.
And I can't find a place that quotes what you said in your post, even in french.
