The folks over at PhoneArena have gotten their hands on what purports to be a Apple internal documents that basically spells out the rumored iSlate’s specifications. The docs aren’t confirmed in any way at this point. But, if true, the not-yet-announced Apple iSlate will be a monster of a tablet.

The iSlate’s surprisingly impressive hardware specs are enough to tickle our geeky-bone, but there’s one specific spec that really gets our attention. According to the  supposed leaked documents, the iSlate will run something known as Mac OS X 10.7 Clouded Leopard. The new operating system is expected to be a touchscreen-friendly version of Mac OS X that uses a new widget-based homscreen. It’s not clear if Clouded Leopard will actually do any cloud computing.

As for the impressive specs we mentioned. Take a gander at Apple’s rumored specs for their tablet computer:

• Precision aluminum unibody
• 7.1-inch capacitive multi-touch touchscreen with some sort of “intelligent feedback” and an anti-fingerprint coating
• 2.26Ghz Intel Core 2 Duo processor
• 2GB DDR3 SDRAM
• 120GB hard drive
• Built-in projector
• Built-in iSight camera
• 802.11n WiFi and Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR
• Mac OS X 10.7 Clouded Leopard

That’s one helluva spec-sheet, but there’s one big thing missing. There’s no mention of any 3G wireless connectivity. That’s a really important feature for a mobile device like the iSlate.

And so the tablet rumours continue…

That last paragraph bolded by me is something I really don't agree with. If you want 3G connectivity, you buy an iPhone. There are tons of solutions -- from 3G USB "rocket sticks" to the MiFi -- to add cellular data connectivity. A tablet that is much more like a computer seems like it would have a) a better price point and b) not cause the headaches of having to deal with carriers.

The only other spec I really don't agree with is the "built in projector". The 120GB hard drive also seems unlikely, since I've been assuming flash-based storage.
