Yet Another Possibly Faked Apple Tablet Picture

As the minutes tick closer to Apple's Event and the mystery product(s) they will be releasing, the following TUAW-reader-submitted picture is either one of two things:

1) a last-minute faked photo of the MacPad, an Apple Tablet. Made probably by photoshopping a booting MacBook Pro.

or

2) the real deal.

I'm not even going to speculate. I know what I want, but if wanting something made it so, there'd be a whole lot of ponies running around middle America.

Dustin- It's not a MacBook Pro screen; it's my 12" PowerBook with an iSight, and Photoshopped a lot. Then I thought that it would look more realistic with the plastic thing in the top left corner of the picture. You're just bitter because I'm 13 and I'm better than you.

the only bad photoshop work was the isight in landscape as eric said. the people who commented about the screen bein poorly rotated- well, sorry to tell you, but i did no photoshop work on that are at all. i just took a picture of my 12" powerbook booting and them made the bottom say macbook and some other things. i am 13 years old, and my fake was better than all the other ones. booyah.

this doesn't look real. how many tablets have you seen with what seems like a 3:4 ratio screen? all tablets are of the widescreen variety. it makes sense cuz its easier to hold and work with than if it were a regular non-widescreen LCD. so, yeah... this has to be fake.

If it were a real tablet and had an isight it would be on the top in portrait mode. just like motion computer's tablets. Nobody I know (at least in the medical field) uses a tablet in landscape mode. unless it is docked and even then they usually have it on an external display with a keyboard and mouse. I do an extensive amount of application development for the Tablet PC and have use almost all the different brands and model of tablets at some point. While I would love for apple to release one... due to the bad photoshop work on this photo and the obvious misplacement of the isight I can assure you this isn't it.

man with all this consumer driven wish list rumours you really gotta wonder whether anyone has actually thought about apple's actually business strategy... They have intel chips and the big system $$ are in acpturing a slice of the business market (I ref you to apples hot news site and marketing guff about lawyers switching... http://www.apple.com/business/profiles/gf/)

If i were SJ and I had just spent a bundle redisgning on an intel platform Id be going after my share of capturing corporates like lawyers etc.. which gets me wondering when a big launch of more corp focussed solutions might come out??? just wanted to stir the pot
