The Apple Tablet

The Apple tablet seems to be the big thing that people are talking about at the moment, but has apple even said that they are bringing out a tablet yet?, or is it just a load of rumours that will likely be wrong when the keynote comes up in a weeks time?, well I personally think it might be happening but this is Apple that I am talking about and most of the time they make surprises that are LIKE what we expected, like when everybody though that there would be a camera on the iPod Touch, it was on the iPod Nano instead, so is Apple TRYING to get the public to think at there is something LIKE the Apple Tablet coming or will it be the first Apple Tablet since the Newton?, well alls we have now is a name, iSlate and some concept pictures that the community has done for us to get an insight of what one might look like, I personally think that Apple could have made something from them concepts because they are very good and I don't see why Apple might not use a similar design. 

Getting on to the point of the design, a lot of people are saying it will look like a 10inch iPhone with a iPhone run OS, they could be right, or maybe Apple might have went with the Apple HD Cinema display design, but whatever the design is it will promise to be sleek like every Apple Product. 

OS? what OS might it run you ask?, well some people are speculating that it might be iPhone kind of OS, but a lot more advanced, and they maybe right because for it to run a copy of Mac OS X it would have to have a HDD in it and how are they going to fit that in a tablet that supposed to be portable?. 

Which brings me onto my next question, what will be the hardware, will it have a disk drive?, iSight Camera?, SSD HDD?, what processor will it be using?, a lot of these questions have yet to be asked, I mean I'd like to know at least a hint of what it might have in it. 

And Finally, not to get confused, I mean I am not ranting here, I'd just like to know more really, but I guess that will come in a weeks time weather they announce it or not, I mean like always with Apple "It happens, when it happens..."
