Look for the shadows that should exist where the model meets the surface of the chest. Where are the high detail photos rather than thumbnails?

Rumor has it Tablets are not wanted in the consumer computer market. Again, only a rumor.

From the pictures and the description, it seems reasonable and pretty spiffy indeed. He took two iBook bottom halves to make the enclosure. Very interesting.

If it's a fake, it sure is a complicated fake. Look at the pictures of the insides. And for those wanting shadows, some have them. If it was a fake and the guy put the shadows on one of them, surely he would made sure they all had shadows since it looks off without them. I am guessing the lighting was just off on the one.

Guys read the article. It's not saying Apple is going to make this, it's saying he made this out of a dual USB iBook and the bottom of a dead iBook. He used a troll touch touch sensitive screen over top. It's a good idea.

Yeah but the pictures are all blatantly crappy photoshop, so no he didn't.

I don't see the blatantness of it. What makes you so sure?

Here's an "in progress" shot.

you don't have to type, you can just rock it out with a stylus. that's the main attraction.

past that though, i don't really see the benefits. seems like a heavy POS to me.
