Axiotron originally began marketing the devices as a "TabletMac" as referenced in this 2007 press release and filed a trademark for the term. Sometime in the past year, however, the trademark was transferred from Axiotron to Apple, and Apple is now listed as the owner of the trademark.
As much as some people hated the name MacBook, it didn't bother me. But TabletMac sounds-- awkward at best.
I hope Apple has a better name planned.
