I think the idea of calling it “iPad” sucks.
It sounds like a menstruation or incontinence related product more than a computer.

The pic from MacFormat.co.uk is very interesting indeed an exactly what I’m hoping for, but for that reason (and a couple of others), I’m prepared to believe it’s actually fake.

The main problem I see with that pic is the size. It depicts a device that couldn’t be any more than 5 inches wide, which if we make the screen the same aspect ratio as the iPhone would mean a 5×8 tablet. Now while in my book this would be the perfect size, the main solid rumour behind the tablet is that Apple has obtained a bunch of 10 inch screen lately.

A 10″ screen in the right aspect ratio would be 6×9 not 5×8. For this shot to be off an Apple tablet that is using a 10″ screen it would have to be 5×10 or more.

Also, the “dock” depicted seems unnaturally huge for no reason at all, the power cord looks thick, the light on the front is huge and garish by current Apple standards, and there is some funny white “shadow” lines at the top of the keyboard and under the power cord that make no sense at all.
