@Jason (Jason Calacanis) reveals LOTS of FAKE details on the Apple Tablet – Now

Update: Now the truth is out it seems that Jason was just having a big old joke… DOH! I have striked out all the details that were wrong.

Jason Calacanis (Founder of Weblogs, Inc., TechCrunch50, Silicon Alley Reporter, Engadget & Mahalo.com) has revealed lots of details of the new Apple Tablet… He pretty much reveals everything except for the name and the look of the device.

Below I have summarised all the information about the device that he has revealed:

1. Can run Farmville (oh No)
2. Connects to other tablets over WiFi for gaming. (Just like every other device in the world)
3. Device has built-in chess app. (So does Windows Vista)
4. Nintendo wii-level innovation. (Mario carts anyone)
5. Inbuilt reader for New Your Times & Vanity Fair (presumably many more)
6. 2 cameras to shoot what’s in front of you + yourself. Augmented video conferencing!
7. OLED Screen
8. Back has solar pad for recharging, but it really doesn’t work quickly.
9. Verizon & ATT Support. This means EVDO and/or 3G
10. Apple Tablet has thumb pads on each side for mouse gestures, (This confirms the photos on the Gizmodo web site that has two thumb buttons.)
11. Reads fingerprint for security. Up to 5 profiles by fingerprint for family
12. Battery life is great in eBook reading mode but not great when on wifi or playing games.
13. Runs an iphone os flavour with ability to have multiple apps running at same time ie pandora, browser
14. The price will be $599, $699 and $799 depending on size and memory in apple tablet. (Probably a subsidised price)
15. Wireless keyboard + monitor connection for tv  (Could this be Intel Wireless Display)
16. The apple tablet is really amazing for newspapers. Video conferencing is super stable, but nothing new.
17. The best part of the apple tablet is the built in HDTV tuner and PVR
18. Come with a chess game.
