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 prototypesmade of aluminum, but on the shape of big iPhoneswere 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!

It would be stupid of Apple to put the iPhone OS on the tablet instead of the full Mac OSX.
