Okay, this is something that can’t be taken seriously. That’s why I put it in the Humour category. The Mac Observer got a picture of the casing of the iPad (or iTablet, or iSlate, or…) a few days ago, but later received some more pictures to get a better idea of the proportions of the casing.
The pictures show the front-side of the possible casing of the tablet, which looks like a giant iPhone. On the picture below you can see the casing lies on top of a MacBook to give you an impression of the size. The dimensions of the casing resemble the rumoured size of the tablet: 10.1-inch.
The Mac Observer says they trust their source, but I refuse to believe this is the real deal. It looks like an exact copy of the iPhone but a lot bigger. I can’t believe that the Home-button would be placed on the same place as the Home-button of the iPhone. When you look close enough (second picture) there’s even a place for the speaker. Also at the same place as on the iPhone. And that’s even more unlikely.
Tell me what you think? Real or not?

P.S. January 27th is only a few days from now and I will be working together with the people from iPhoneFreakz.com to deliver a live blog on that day. You can follow that live coverage here on this page as well as on iPhoneFreakz.com. Hope to see you then.
