Numerous Suspect Apple Tablet Images Surfacing

I'm trying to think of why you would need two home buttons...
What if they were enabled for multi-touch and they could be used like joysticks... not in that they'll pop out like a joystick but because it's recessed it's easier to use than a similar "button" on the screen without your finger moving around. That'd create problems in accidentally hitting the home button and exiting the app but I'm sure there are numerous fixes for that.
A lot of companies have numbers that have too many letters to be a phone number but it still let's them spell out there name so it's easy to remember. I'm not saying this is legit because I think almost everyone would bet a lot of it's fake but it's not fake because the numbers don't match the letters.
The obvious giveaways that the ad is fake are the ellipses (...) which Apple never uses, the too-square form factor, and the lack-luster virtual keyboard image on the screen. Methinks Apple would want to make more of a splash on the thing's screen!
So what, after the first 11 digits, everything else is just an empty gesture? That means their stealing moments of my life, moments I could spend listening to call waiting music, or getting frustrated with an annoying automated menu system.
Plus, doesn't Apple tend to show the thing in action. Not just static images on a floating tablet. If this thing is supposed to do something new, I'd imagine that would be the focus of an ad for it. (shrugs).....of course the fact that this is a fake is really a non-issue now at this point. I.....I'm just distracting myself from what I should be doing....

Automated menus... annoying? Get outta here...
Seriously! An Ethernet port? WIRED INTERNET? Wow.
Of course

I want one! That was a great commercial! Wouldn't be surprised if Apple bought that (like they did with Nick Haley's iPod Touch commercial)
Actually, I've see quite a few ads that have more than 7 digits in its phone number. I've never tried them, but my guess would be the extra number(2) would be extension numbers.
You are right that the ports are a dead give-away... there's no depth to them, and they show that the back is pretty much ripped from an iMac photo and skinned onto a 3D model.
They get a +1 for the radio-signal-friendly stripe on the back, but the screen image is OS X w/ OS X apps in the docks. Also what appear to tech trademark emblems and logos on the back. My MacBook Air doesn't have "Intel inside." stamped on it anywhere. Apple doesn't co-brand like that. And, IMO, Apple would never tell you how long a product had been in development. Certainly not in an ad. That begs slights like, After 10 years the best they could come up with is this?
But yes, fun. And probably pretty close to what we'll see Wednesday, unless it's just a touchscreen iMac! But otherwise how many different ways can you design a very thin tablet computer with a 7" - 10" display? Somebody should have stuck a user-swappable battery compartment cover on the back of one of the fakes. Then we might have all thought, It's so crazy it just might be true!
Reflections look off in the glass of the MBP.
The iPad will have an aluminum housing.
it's already been done!
Here is what the Apple Tablet version 1 was like, back in 1983
Apple have had 26 years to work on this, better be something special!

You can see the commercial in much better quality here:

I'm pretty sure this is real. The band's called Cola-Cola.

Well, I'm sure it's not. Don't know how you can actually believe this, but if you still think it's real, hopefully this will change your mind:
Yeah, not real.

You can see the screws on the tablet mock-up where they took the side of the macbook.
Or maybe they would leave it up and ask to take down a fake one to throw us off?...... hmm..
It's posts like this that remind us. This is truly mac rumors.
Not complaining, just observing. Can't wait 'til Wednesday!
