Will the new Apple tablet be called the iSlate? There seems to be some of evidence that Apple’s interested in using that name, however it’s not definitive proof that the tablet will get the new nickname. It might just be Apple’s way of taking the name to keep anyone else from using it. Imagine that!
There does seem to be some logic in the name “iSlate”, however, if we assume that the Apple tablet is more akin to a giant iPod touch than a keyboardless iMac. It would be crazy to think the name would not come with the popular “i” prefix and equaully as crazy if the word “tablet” was used. This would bring to mind it’s form factor, input methods most associated with the failed Microsoft tablet PC. The Apple tablet will most likely be completely different from the tablet PC, so why suggest a link with a similiar name? Especially when you could use one of the many names already trademarked by Apple.
