It isn’t and iPod, it isn’t and iPhone, it isn’t a MacBook… It is the long awaited Apple Tablet device, now deemed “iPad”. It has a 9.7″ screen, full multi-touch, with an onscreen keyboard. The keyboard is only a bit smaller than a full-size laptop keyboard. It is there when you want it, gone when you don’t. Battery life is remarkable on the new device, expect 10 Hours of full use on one battery charge and a month of standby time.

Mac observer.com has released some leaked photos of the upcoming apple tablet glass. The photo also puts the tablet to scale for the first time by showing it on top of a macbook keyboard. It is about the same size as the keyboard verifying the notion of a 10″ tablet screen.

In addition, the photos also show us that the tablet truly appears to be nothing more than an oversized iPhone. We can see the menu button hole in the photos. The black outline around the screen also seconds that idea.

The photos are cryptic and low quality. We don’t know if they are real or not, but they do provide some added speculation to the mystery around the tablet device that is to be released this wednesday. Mac Observer says that they are from a “trustable source”, but doesn’t really clarify who that is.

All in all, the truth will come out in only 2 days. Let’s continue to hold our breath.
