Over the weekend, Flurry detected iPhone apps with their analytics embedded running on a device with a tablet-sized screen. That makes it very likely the tablet is running iPhone OS.

I'm pretty sure he meant "looks a lot like the iPhone OS". Most non-tech people cannot differentiate between the look of a desktop and the underlying OS. If it looks and acts like the iPhone, do you really think he's going to be wondering what kernel and low level libraries are actually running?

No, I think he was correct; it will probably run iPhone apps. I can't prove it, but if I could I'd be under NDA.

I was thinking the same thing. Perhaps he misunderstood Apple telling McGraw-Hill that 'your e-books will work on iPhone and iSlate' as '[the tablet is] based on the iPhone operating system and so it will be transferable'.
