Ask HN: Does the iPad name inspire?
I know it's supposed to be a play on 'iPod' but does anyone else think the new tablet's name is kind of lame?
- tokenadult 17y agoA lot of women are laughing at the name, having other associations for the word "pad." One of my Facebook friends asks, "Max-IPad?"
- evandavid 17y agoThe whole 'i' thing is wearing on me. I expected to see a new angle.
- J3L2404 17y agoA very unfortunate choice. Completely tone-deaf. Apple product line now reads Macs - iPads. Yikes! Also plays into the "Pink Malibu Stacy iPhone" problem.
- adelevie 17y agoI like the name. When I see it written it conjures all the good associations I have with iPods, then I realize it's different--it's tough to explain.
- az 17y agoYeah, not too creative
