The fact that there is clearly no weight to the thing beyond perhaps a piece of cardboard (I theorize it's a painted solid piece of cardboard, with the fake video overlaid later)
In reality, that's a terrible form factory for any kind of computing task. The wrist, under real weight, will become tired very quickly and you'd have an ergonomics nightmare. Ergonomics is probably the #1 reason tablet PC's have done horribly. They are heavy and awkward. Considering such concerns are #1 with apple products, I doubt very much they would put out such a silly thing.

Well of course I realise it's fake. That's why I said it could look like this, ie. give an impression of what things could be like. Form factor wise it's not ideal ergonomic wise, as you said but the interaction of the OSX/apple style smooth scrolling is what's of concern. Multitouch with the OSX style interface is what's new in the video. It's very well done and obviously fake.
So you think this type of tablet mode will never be used? How about a tablet in landscape mode? Then it's pretty much the same experience as the guy in the video. So much for your enthusiasm...
