Here is some fresh dope on the much awaited iTablet, Looprumours has an exclusive source who is saying that the device will be running on a customized version of the Leopard and will be somewhere between a laptop and a tablet to be used as a personal Mac communicator. The iTablet will sport a mini optical disc drive and like the iPhone come with an accelerometer so it can be operated in multiple directions. Interestingly, you will also be able to plug in a mouse, demonstrating that you can use many different input methods. Wireless keyboard, mouse, stylus, and finger.Coming to the design it will be big, black and shiny, more like a big iPhone. However it wont be bigger than half the size of a Macbook's screen.

Finally the iTablet will use both the sides for information and use solid state storage. This is about it so lets wait for Macworld.

This device is going to be geared to people who already have macs, so no, this is not going to be a full-fledged computer. The iTablet will be running a specially designed version of Mac OS X Leopard, and will work perfectly with Leopard Macs. People will able to control their computers over the internet from a remote location (no word on whether that’s for .Mac members only), video conference over the internet, and will also be able to beam (or squirt) files to other Macs or iTablets wirelessly.
