The results are now in, and it turned out to be a very tight battle between two frontrunners. The final winner is iSlate, which at 31% eked out a narrow 15 vote margin over the next closest contestant, iPad, with 30% of the vote.

In third place was actually “None of the above” at a full quarter of the vote, with MacBook Touch and a resuscitation of the earlier product name iBook in the list of alternatives mentioned in the comments. iTablet came in a more distant fourth at 13%, with iGuide being the least popular name, earning only 1% of the total vote.

What do you think: will iSlate be the ultimate Apple Tablet name? Do you have any other name alternatives to throw into the ring here at the eleventh hour?
