Is This Apple’s Tablet? Probably Not

Another fake but interesting spyshot of Apple’s tablet has been published by the French blog Nowhereelse.fr.

Says the blog (in translation): “The ball of rumors and other Fakes is clearly open. After photos of a so-called prototype of the new 3G iPod Touch, here is a rather realistic picture of what appears to be the famous MacTablet that we could in this case call iTouch … Anyway I take my hat off to its author if it is a Fake!”

It is fake. The staging with a Nokia cellphone is just too — well, staged. Plus, would Apple put the Home button at the bottom instead of the sides, where it would be easy to hit with a thumb?

Most interesting is that the tablet is shown displaying the “Welcome” message when installing OS X. Other recent tablet fakes have shown the device running the iPhone OS, or a version of. That of course is the big question: what operating system will the tablet run? We like the idea of OS X.
