I took a look at domain name owners for ipad.com and islate.com and found an interesting piece of information.
Anyhow, islate.com is registered by an unknown party via Markmonitor, a company that handles domain names for Apple’s brands. On the other hand ipad.com is registered by ENERO 6 CORP (or, translated from Spanish – January 6th Corp) – I could not find anything on this company on the web.
At this point in time I’d venture to claim that Apple has made decision and that they will be going with iSlate name for the upcoming product. This of course assumes that there is no third name in play (I find this to be unlikely this late in the game). See the table and image below:
| Domain | Owner | Registrar | Look it up |
| apple.com | Apple | Markmonitor.com | http://whois.domaintools.com/apple.com |
| iPod.com | Apple | Markmonitor.com | http://whois.domaintools.com/ipod.com |
| iSlate.com | Unknown | Markmonitor.com | http://whois.domaintools.com/islate.com |
| iPad.com | Enero 6 Corp | Network Solutions | http://whois.domaintools.com/ipad.com |
