BoomTown Psychic Prediction: "iPad" Will Be Name of New Apple Tablet (Take a Poll to Make Your Guess!)

While “iSlate” is classier and “iTab” or “iTablet” more descriptive, BoomTown is making an all-in bet that Apple will use “iPad” as the brand name of its new tablet device, which is expected to be launched one week from today. Interestingly, there was an intriguing post on MacRumors today that pointed to new trademark filings from what it claims is a dummy Apple corporation, suggesting that iPad could be the moniker of the much anticipated device. While I claim no such source for my own Miss Cleo prediction, here’s my case for the iPad name and a poll where you can vote for your choice (not that Apple CEO Steve Jobs cares what we think!).
