You need only to see how successful the PC tablets are to see why Apple should never do this.

(By the way, "MAC" is an acronym for Media Access Control. It is a computer networking term. Apple makes Macintosh computers sometimes referred to as a "Mac"...)

First of all, Macs are made by Apple

Second, we will not know until MacWorld, which will be on the 15th. Rumors have been circulating about new Mac laptop revisions though. There is currently a computer called the ModBook by Axiotron which is just a MacBook but with a tablet screen.

It is a Mac tablet and they are finally shipping right now, but I suggest you should wait for MacWorld before ordering anything.
