What will the Apple iTablet be Actually Called?

itablet-trendsIt seems like most people are referring to Apple’s latest product to be launched as the iTablet. Snippets however think that this goes against the trend at Apple due to all the “i” named products released over the last 11 years each just having 1 syllable.
