Ugh.

That Google would "show off" these concepts is a bit embarrassing, and telling.
An Apple designer wouldn't even show their manager concept drawings this rudimentary, especially if they were nothing more than copies of a competing product released the week before.
I really hope this isn't Google's doing. But if they are working on a tablet version of Chrome OS, they should probably keep the lid on it until it's had more than 2 hours of mockup work.

Saying it's a rip off of Apple's tablet is like saying every car 'rips off' a carriage. The same thing will usually be invented multiple times you know.
