Mac OS X clouded Leopard? So Apple is going to announce a product in a month which requires an operating system they have not announced yet. Apple usually gives developer preview of their OS for a good 1-2 years before the release it and after they announce it. This is so fake.

Agreed. This looks like total BS.

EDIT

Why would you put a gigabit port on a tablet?

Hah, the "internal Apple document" doesn't even spell "up to" correctly. What a joke.

The 120gb 4200rpm SATA drive is also pretty ludicrous.

Although likely a fake, Clouded Leopard makes a lot of sense. Apple is typically an early adopter of many new technologies and I can see this as being their first move into a cloud backed OS. Not their first more, but the big one (lala.com purchase lets them move iTunes to the cloud easily, also there were rumors of them building big datacenters in NC and other places).

Originally my thoughts were along the lines of iLife in the cloud, but a full push to the cloud also makes sense. Enough people are clamoring for a tablet from them, that the security implications that some have about having their data live away from them would be washed out from the number of people who either don't care or just don't know, not that either are a good thing.

Even if it's fake, it brought one thought to mind: It will be a sad day if they release a device that will only run Apple Approved™ applications.

I'll be glad when these so obviously fake "documents" completely disappear.

Clouded Leopard? Really? Why not Cloud Leopard? Does anyone actually think Apple would call a product "Clouded Leopard?" Or that a tiny 7" tablet needs a power-hungry Core 2 Duo?
