iPad? Seriously?
Of all the names Steve Jobs could have come up with to describe Apple’s newest product, he and his marketing team chose “iPad.” Are you freakin’ kidding me? Of all the other cool names floating out there: iTablet, iTab, iSlate, etc. the number one winner was iPad? What’s next, iTampon?
As my boss pointed out today, “that sounds strangely menstrual.” He further went on to joke:
I think I’m going to start a web site that will help people get the most out of their iPad. It will help them to get maximum usage from their iPad. I think I’ll call it Max iPad.
Anyone care to guess the domain name for such a site?
Steve, I know you were sick and needed a liver transplant because you nearly died. But seriously, if that’s the best you can do post-op, it might have been a better idea to leave the naming up to Phil.
Update: According to Twitter, Apple didn’t even have to release an iTampon in order for their current product to be castigated as such.
