Hi, usually I download OSM map from here http://downloads.cloudmade.com/ , choose your region and download option file with shapefile extension. Open this file in MapInfo using Tool ----> universal translator ----> Source = ESRI shape format , convert to Destination = tab file format. Done!

Hello,, during convertion the color of all the roads become black, how to version without looosing its original appearance?

Sorry, about the color, because you only ask about convert to tab file from OSM.I suggest you try Thematic from MapInfo.
Description regarding Universal Translator from MapInfo :
When translating from SHAPE to TAB, Universal Translator defaults empty fields to the following:
• Empty numeric field with a width of one translates to a 0 (zero)
• Empty numeric field with a width of two translates to -9
• Empty numeric field with a width of three translates to -99
• Empty numeric field with a width of four translates to -999
• Empty numeric field with a width of five or greater translates to -9999
A single file translation may result in multiple files depending on file types.
