Macrumors found an interesting website whois record showing that Apple once owned the domain name “iSlate.com”, a possibly hint towards the name of Apple’s new tablet. The domain information has since been changed to “Mark Monitor” a company that protects trademark domains from being taken.
The tablet device, whatever the name will be, is probably going to show up next year around january-february, so keep an eye on this matter and we might see some evidence (software / hardware)
