Not Apple Tablet
Gruber said that he doesn't think the "tablet" will be called iPad. I agree, but I think it won't be called "Tablet" either. Read it here: http://daringfireball.net/linked/2010/01/19/ipad
"Tablet" is just plain too boring. Apple hardly never calls its products what they really are. MacBook, the laptop, isn't really a book. It may be shaped like a book, but looks like one only viewed from a distance. iMac... What the hell is "iMac"? iPod... Pod... Doesn't sound like a music player to me. iPhone... Ok, my bad. The only thing is, all those names sounds and looks relatively good when said or typed. "Tablet" sounds like a name that "we came up because we didn't have any better ideas". iSlate is even worse. After all, I think it won't be named anything mentioned here. It'll be a name that flows. Not "Apple Tablet", just say that out loud to see why. They just might surprise everone by calling it the... iTouch?
