Gizmodo has received a tip from a source "that has always been 100% reliable" informing them that Apple is working on a 10-inch tablet, and 13" and 15" model as well.

This source claims that the two touchscreen prototypes—made of aluminum, but on the shape of big iPhones—were in a factory in Shenzuen, China. One of them "was running Mac OS X 10.5." When I asked, the source didn't know if these were built for demonstration purposes, or if they were preproduction units. The company has a tight relation with Apple but "it's not FoxConn."

Until now speculation has been that Apple will put a modified version of the iPhone OS on the tablet device. This may be the first evidence that the tablet could run the more powerful Mac OS X.

Number 1 I am so sick of hearing all these rumors about the Apple Tablet.... 2ndly If Apple puts the iPhone OS on the Tablet I will lose all respect for them! As great as OS X 10.6 is it would be stupid to throw the crappy iPhone OS on it!
