Photo of 10 inch Apple tablet screen is either totally fake, or kind of disappointing

Could the image you see above, which really looks like it could be part of a giant iPhone, be the glass surface for the Apple tablet? If so, that giant hole on the bottom is likely where an iPhone-like home button will be, and the earpiece up top would be for a speaker. Or, and we know this could be a stretch, someone had nothing better to do and created a large-scaled replica of the iPhone’s face, drilled an extra hole into it and called it a placeholder for a camera. There are some things we see on the Internet that sends our BS meter through the roof, and this one did it at first glance. We’d be really disappointed if Apple made the tablet look nothing more like a giant iPhone, but then again, why mess with success? If rumors prove to be true, we’ll find out before the end of this month.

      Agreed. No way would Apple ever release something that looked like that.

    Looks pretty fake to me. We will see though. I’m sure it’s going to be alumminum unibody instead of plastic though.

    You’re gonna at least screen some of your stories to vaguely ensure they are authentic! You’ve got to much comp for this kind of story! Seriously!!!!

    Ummm…Whats with the big ass earpiece at the top?

    I think this is another version of the iPhone coming out and the photo is like on “telephoto” or something.

    Nice try.

    Agreed with everyone else, that’s probably fake, the trackball also looks like something from HTC.

    Yeah, I’m thinking this is more 4″ tall not 10″, thus, more likely an 4th gen iPhone, not a tablet.

    FAKE

    It looks like the mock up from the BIG iPhones Rogers stores have in them, lol.

    Don’t know why you guys even bothered posting this. Who would hold a 10-inch tablet up to their face and talk on it like it’s a phone? There is no way in hell this thing is real, unless Mr. Jobs has completely lost his touch.

    That thing looks like a King Kong iPhone I will stick to my 8gig ipod touch.

    I like it.

  • SDreamer

    That thing is fake… it’s just an enlarged iPhone glass piece. Why would the tablet have an ear hole?

  • http://www.louisvillecolorado-realestate.com Andrea

    I hope it is real. It sure would be another nice gadget to have.

  • melan4u

    OBVIOUSLY FAKE!! Why would there be a slit of a single speaker at the top of the device, meant for close to the ear listening, like a cell phone! I can’t imagine holding a netbook against my face to listen to the speaker.

    • Jack Bane

      Yes it’s fake so knock out the emotions, it might give you a high-blood.. lol as for the real score. It seems we will be seeing the official apple tablet announcement on 27-28th, along with some beta testing iPhone OS 4.0 SDK goodies. iSlate Details: http://bit.ly/islate-specs-hoax-and-official-details
