New pictures claiming to be the Apple Tablet have surfaced, and they're the most realistic ones we've seen yet.

The images, posted by designer and user interface guy Dustin Curtis, reveal what appears to be the tablet on top of a MacBook pro. He posted the images on his Posterous.

While we cannot verify or debunk their authenticity, they are the most complete images we've seen yet of the rumored device. Without the interface running, any video or a picture of its backside, we can't even guess as to whether they're real. Our gut says no, but they're convincing images.

We already knew of Dustin Curtis — he's a talented designer who got attention for his mockup redesign of the American Airlines website and the subsequent firing of an AA employee who gave him a response.

Take a look at these pretty pics; we'll do the investigating to try to determine if they're real. Let us know what you think of the images in the comments.
