the tablet is in a case, development case by the looks of it,
where components can be added and removed through the back for testing different pieces of hardware,
the tablet is in that case to allow it to be moved around, with hardware accessible for removal/changing.
i have some devices developed this way, mainly industrial gps systems.

I do not understand this explanation. Sorry I am dumb but can you try to elaborate further?
Why would the tablet need to be hidden in some kind of griddle case with rear access to add gadgets to it?

Nice, but that makes a laptop seem more elegant and functional
Are there any churches devoted to you yet. I am thinking it might be a good idea.
Clearly iPhones make the average iPhone user look at least 18% smarter than they actually are.
That pictured case looks perfectly reasonable to me. The Tablet will get hot, so the case allows space all around it for cooling. The tablet will be hard to pick up without getting fingerprints all over, so the case provides a handle.
And yes, it looks like an electric griddle.

I hope you're joking.
Apple has already learned their lesson with laptops overheating, what makes you think a device with a SSD and a chip "similar" to those in the iPhone and iPhone Touch would somehow be different? Sure, they (iPhone/iPod Touch) can get warm sometimes, but nothing unreasonable.
Says who? My 17" MacBook Pro (Early 2009) is much more powerful than we expect the slate to be, but it does not get hot. Not in the least.
I'm not concerned about the thing melting, but it will generate heat like any other laptop/tablet/phone does when running. One reason Apple has moved to solid aluminum cases is because aluminum is a good heat sink. It pulls heat off the motherboard and dissipates it as air moves across the case.
My Archos 9 tablet gets very warm to the touch if you keep it on it's back (on your lap). They designed a kickstand into it though, to keep it propped up for natural convection cooling (and a better view of the screen). I expect the iSlate to perform about the same heat-wise.
