Size supports rumors of 10in Apple tablet

A second leak in as many weeks has purported photos of Apple's tablet. While similar to a previous shot of the device's glass, two new images have now surfaced that put the size in context. Both are consistent and show the glass itself being roughly as long as a MacBook Pro's keyboard tray end-to-end, or enough to theoretically house a 10-inch diagonal screen.

Other traits visible in the Mac Observer shots are a home button on one side and a speaker grille on the other, implying that it will have at least voice support. A small hole in the top corner remains a mystery and could be a place for anything from a camera to a sensor or a construction element for the overall enclosure. Contradictory rumors have appeared in recent days, but the most recent hint at no camera at all.

While no corroborating evidence yet exists, the photos don't show obvious signs of manipulation and may be the closest to evidence that outsiders will see of the rumored big-screen Apple handheld before a possible unveiling on the 27th.
