http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2010/01/209_549426_e8e47bba6af75c5.jpgAs far as the actual hardware goes, the size, the look, and the configuration of the apparent unibody-ish backside (http://bbs.weiphone.com/read-htm-tid-632533.html)of the tablet all make this look legit. The original posting was yanked almost immediately—very interesting—but not before we saved them.
The photos showed up on a message board on Chinese website Weiphone, and give a clear view of the rear of the device. These look like leaks from a component manufacturer, so we're not seeing the whole product here, just one of its constituent parts—remember, Apple doesn't actually manufacture hardware, so plenty of people outside of the company have seen bits and pieces of this thing. Anyway, this may be our tablet:
We've probably seen the screen and one piece of software (http://www.dcemu.co.uk/vbulletin/%C3%83%C2%A7), and now we've just as probably seen what the exterior looks like. That is, one part iPhone, three parts Unibody MacBook, eight parts new.
