it would be silly for it not to be the iPhone OS. This is exactly the  
kind of thing the OS was created for. If it was just OSX on a tablet  
it would just as non exciting as any other Tablet PC. Tablets have not  
caught on because for most people there is not a real reason to use  
one - plus interacting with them has been awkward. This is certainly  
not just going to be the current iPhone OS, there has to be some  
clever interfacing element, that's what everyone is counting on.

This article is interesting:

Though I am still hoping the tablet is geared in some way towards  
being a digital canvas. They have Alias sketchbook pro for iphone but  
I'm hoping that apple puts some thought into that aspect in the design.
