Ask HN: Does the iPad name inspire?

A lot of women are laughing at the name, having other associations for the word "pad." One of my Facebook friends asks, "Max-IPad?"

I 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.

The whole 'i' thing is wearing on me. I expected to see a new angle.

Yeah, not too creative

A very unfortunate choice. Completely tone-deaf. Apple product line now reads Macs - iPads. Yikes!

Also plays into the "Pink Malibu Stacy iPhone" problem.
