Apple to name their new tablet iSlate? Yeah, right.

I don't usually give a rip about stories like these, but when I read an article speculating that Apple's rumored 'tablet PC' or 'webpad' will be called iSlate I had to ask myself, "really?"

With brands like iPod, iPhone, iTunes, etc. I just don't see Apple settling for a name like iSlate? It doesn't have the same ring to it.

My vote? iPad.

Naming aside, I think a touch screen notepad with the application interface of an iPhone would rock. Just don't make me sign up with AT&T to get it.
