Real Apple Tablet Pictures Get Leaked Ahead of Official Launch?

Yesterday we showed you new leaked pictures of the Apple tablet, which you’ll find just below. Although the rendered Apple tablet looked like we imagine it should look, we couldn’t confirm whether they were real or fake. Today, a few hours before Apple’s event in San Francisco, we found more pics that look like the real thing and you can see and judge them all just after the jump.

It looks like the Holy Grail of tablets has been finally uncovered but the pics here might still be fake. Sure there are various elements that can make us think that we’re looking at the actual tablet. On the other hand technology has advanced so much that it can truly fool our senses. Just watch Avatar in 3D and if those ingenious people designing the Na’vi made our eyes and brain see those drawings as real alien people I imagine that an iPhone-like tablet rendering is even easier to accomplish.

Getting back to those pics you’ll notice some interesting details. The device looks like a larger iPhone. The home button is present just like in earlier renderings and the whole thing is enclosed in a leather case. iPhone OS is clearly running on the device and we’re looking at some kind of a map there which is displayed at a very high resolution. Some parts of the pictures are intentionally hidden from the eye but we can clearly see the top left corner that says “No Service” while also displaying the Wi-Fi icon next to it.

The screen seems to measure around 9 to 10 inches so we might be looking at the real thing.

On the other hand the design has everything needed to make our mind think it’s showing the original tablet. It is somewhat blurry and it does hide various parts of the display in order to give us the impression that we’re looking at the real tablet. The device has the shape of a larger iPhone and it’s even running an app that reminds us of the user interface of Apple’s handset. In other words our brain is looking exactly at the image it already thinks it should see and thus draws the conclusion that the pictures can be real.

What do you say folks? Is it the real thing or are we looking at the creation of a Photoshop master here?
