Apple iSlate to be Revealed Today
Probably.
No one knows what it’s going to be called, but some are guessing iPad, iSlate or iTablet.
If they went with iPad, that would fit in with the iPhone and the iPod.
After some little research of my own, I’m thinking it’s going to be the Apple iSlate.
My little research is this… ipad.com and itablet.com are registered by other companies. These registrations go back a few years.
On the other hand, iSlate.com is registered at MarkMonitor, to a generic sounding company housed at their offices.
MarkMonitor is some kind of registrar and “brand protection” service for large companies. The domain, ipod.com, is owned by Apple and also registered through MarkMonitor.
So, it would look to me like they are using MarkMonitor to conceal ownership before the grand unveiling, today, reportedly, probably.
So, we can all look forward to the Apple iSlate being announced today.
That’s my guess anyway.
I love ALL things Apple! If I ever win the lottery, I swear I will buy every single product they make!
I just wish the iSlate was going to be Newton sized. It’s supposed to have a 10″ screen, which is kind of large to carry around. A Newton would fit in a denim jacket pocket.
Guess I was wrong… It’s an iPad. That was my preferred name, actually. So much for my detective work though!
In Star Trek: The Next Generation and the other series in the same era, they used PADDs: Personal Access Display Devices.
