The site’s anonymous source was described as a “close Apple connect,” who also offered up a few tablet details. The rumored Apple tablet device will allegedly run an iPhone-based kernel on an ARM processor, sport enhanced multi-touch gesture support beyond what’s currently available on the iPhone and iPod touch, and is essentially “an iPhone on steroids.”
While there isn’t any way to verify the information the anonymous source offered, the idea that the Apple tablet device is like a big iPhone fits with a photo that The Mac Observer obtained on Monday that our sources claim is the tablet’s glass surface.
Apple hasn’t confirmed that it is releasing a tablet device, but the company is rumored to be planning a special media event for January 26 or 27 where it will finally unveil what it has been working on.
