These wonderful fake tablet photos come from user interface designer Dustin Curtis. They supposedly show the Jesus Moses Tablet atop a 15-inch MacBook Pro. Unlike many blurry spy-cam shots, Dustin had faith in his Photoshop abilities and these pictures are sharp and clear.
It’s a sweet-looking design, with dual dock ports for horizontal and vertical charging (and movie-watching). Even the bezel (although it looks thin on a large tablet) is wide enough for fingers to grip without obscuring the screen.
But the telltale signs are there. A bad, overly soft drop shadow (most obvious in the close-up), an off-looking reflection (the glowing Apple and the screen edge on the main shot) and the rather pale reflection of the MacBook keyboard in its own screen (again on the close-up). Still, it might be my favorite mockup so far, if only because the super-simple slab-like design fits with my idea of what the actual tablet will look like. For more debunking and analysis, head to Dustin’s blog, where these images were posted. Good try, Dustin!
