Who Owns iSlate.com?

Did Apple quietly register iSlate.com through a third party? It wouldn’t be the first time the Cupertino based company discretely grabbed a domain in advance of a new product announcement. Apple frequently uses a consulting firm called Mark Monitor to secure their domains. Mark Monitor’s specialty is “enterprise brand protection.” Mark Monitor handles domain name registrations and brand protection for many companies, including Apple. Apple.com, iPod.com, iPhone.com, and iSlate.com are all registered under Mark Monitor.

The blogosphere has been speculating and following rumors of an Apple tablet for years. Here’s a brief headline roundup that goes back to February 2006:
