Here we go again. Another day, another concept video of the upcoming Apple iTablet/iSlate surfaces in the wild. Obviously this isn't the real deal, just another *fake* mockup by a French site named BeGeek.fr. Thought I would just share it with you all to see the concept of an OS, which is a mixture of OS X and iPhone OS in action. Video after the jump.

The are a number of rumored reports around the web, suggesting a possible announcement of Microsoft Courier Tablet like Slate tablet PC tonight during Steve Ballmer’s opening keynote at 2010 CES. If this happens, then we could very well have a Slate/Tablet PC, running Microsoft software well ahead of Apple’s rumored iSlate/Tablet, which is expected to be unveiled on January 27th, in Apple’s mega event to be held at Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco.
The greatest strength of Apple and iPhone has always been the availability of over 100,000 apps in the iTunes App Store. No other phone manufacturer has so far been able to match the success that Apple’s App Store has got in its first year alone. There is an app for just about anything one can think off. And so, today, Apple has announced that more than three billion apps have been downloaded from the App Store by iPhone and Pod touch users worldwide. This is what Steve Jobs had to say on the occasion.
PhoneArena has managed to grab leaked documents of the upcoming Apple tablet via an anonymous tipster, which reveals the detailed specifications of the said device.

A little while ago, Digitimes has published a story stating Foxconn's screen division Innolux, to supply Apple with a 10-inch screen for its upcoming Tablet.

The rumors about the release of Apple’s long awaited Tablet has been on fire for the last few days and so are the speculations about its name.
