Who’s knows we may even see an update to the Apple TV hardware at this event too. We can only hope.

> Just few days after the name “iSlate” appears, this mysterious paper appears as well, with the name “iSlate” used. Coincidence?
> 7-inch (in title) or 7.1-inch (in Display section)?
> Spacing and text alignment – looks like they use spaces instead of Tab. (A.k.a they’re Word/Keynote n00bs.)
> Wording doesn’t really seem professional, especially on the second paper. “Homescreen”, “Browse & download”, “2x faster”, don’t sound exactly right, but it’s Apple, so OK – let’s assume they could have actually written it like that. But mentioned Exchange at the end – to make it sound more real? The “Now refreshed” sounds VERY fake, too. And on Wireless, note the number “2″ – it shouldn’t be there, plus it lacks a space before it. Finally, pros to delphinus87 for noticing the wrong font.
> Clouded Leopard? Oh man.
* Apple won’t make a third Leopard.
* 10.7 so soon after 10.6? Yeah right.
* 10.7 should be the new desktop OS, not a derivative of 10.6 for the tablet.
* Clouded – cloud computing? Sounds interesting. This (from here, imagine the following text is in italics) could (from here, forget the italics) be a smart move from Apple, but it sounds more like a smart move from fakers.
