Numerous Suspect Apple Tablet Images Surfacing

Monday January 25, 2010 12:30 pm PST by Eric Slivka
With less than 48 hours to go until Apple's media event where it is widely expected to introduce its tablet device, the Internet has been awash in claimed "leaked" images of the new device. We've gathered here a few of the recently-surfaced images for interest's sake, but we believe that none of them are genuine.

French site Be Geek published [Google translation] a set of three images appearing to depict a device offering two iPhone-like "home" buttons.


Meanwhile, another pair of images surfaced on Twitter and has been widely reposted, showing a sleek tablet device lacking any front buttons sitting on the keyboard of a MacBook Pro.




And finally, French site Nowhereelse.fr publishes [Google translation] a submission it has received claiming to be an advertisement for Apple's "iPad" tablet device. Nowhereelse.fr has a very poor track record when it comes to leaked images and video, having posted several fake and presumably fake submissions in the past.

The first photo looks kind of cool, the 2nd two look two square and big, but the last one is an obvious fake and not in apple's style.

I'm trying to think of why you would need two home buttons...:confused:

The french ad is definitely fake... Apple would not focus on a virtual keyboard as the highlight AND... most of all.. the image is off center! And gets worse as the iPad rotates!

Fun though... can't wait to see the real thing on Wednesday!

Clearly they are all right.


The last one is the most fake by a long shot.

Middle two are interesting but lack the apple style. I have hard time believing that a device promoting multitouch will have two physical home buttons. But maybe thas jus me?

They all look cool, but the last one is obviously fake. Giveaway: the ports. If they're on the back & the tablet's as thin as it appears to be, then when you plug in a USB device or ethernet cable, the connector looks like it'll pop out the front (or very well near it). Maybe ports on the side, but even ethernet port will probably be too big. Besides, isn't the tablet supposed to be used as a wireless device?

What song is that in the commercial? Shazam doesn't recognize it. Would be a good idea for an unknown artist to put is music in a fake commercial that a bunch of people are going to watch Ha
