Steve Jobs: "Here is a device that will revolutionize media as we know it, much as the iPhone transformed the market for smartphones. It is affordably priced and reasonably awesome."

America: "HAHA iPAD? That's what ladies put on their hoo-ha! LOL."

God, I know right. Why did they name it that? I cringed when he announced the name. WTF. iTab? iTablet? iMobile? iReader? SOMETHING. ANYTHING BUT the iMaxipad.

I think they wanted it to be two syllables like iPhone or Macbook.

As a Blackberry user I was the same way about iPhone until my brother gave me one. Then I got hooked. It's the little features you don't readily see that make the device remarkable, I think. :-)

Good point. You really have to wait a year or two for Apple's devices to get up to speed.

Feministing agrees with you.
