Apple has officially registered the TabletMac name with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. What does this mean for the name of the Apple Tablet? Well, not necessarily a lot. Apple is known to register many different variations to their brand names to avoid competitors releasing products with names that may be confused with Apple’s trademarks. But there is a possibility we have the new name for the Apple tablet right here.

Axiotron, a U.S. company that actually already developed Apple tablets by converting existing Apple MacBooks into so-called Modbooks owned the TabletMac trademark before. The Modbook has been quite succesful and for this reason, many supposed photos of the Apple tablet were actually Modbooks in action. The trademark was registered by Apple in November 2008 and was transferred from Axiotron to Apple in the last few months.

Do you like the idea of your tablet being called a TabletMac? Do you think it fits with the entire name line up of Apple? MacBook, iPhone and TabletMac? Tell us in the comments.
