Apple unveiled their highly anticipated tablet computer, the iPad. While the product has the tech world abuzz, everyone can agree on one thing: The name sucks. Usually the marketing people at Apple are renowned for their ability to brand and market products, but they dropped the ball on this one. Here are 5 names that would have been better than iPad.
1.) iSlate
The most popular name for the product before the official unveiling. iSlate would have made a great name because it just sounds cool. I have an “iSlate.” It just rolls off your tongue.
2.) iTablet
Another popular name among the tech world. Why not name your product after what it is actually while adding a little Apple flare to it?
3.) Really Big iPod Touch
Alright look, the iPad is just a really big iPod Touch/iPhone. Why not call it that?
4.) iCouldn’t Think of a Good Name
Steve Jobs and his marketing team should just admit that he couldn’t think of a good name so just settled for iPad.
5.) Tampod
If Apple is looking to attract the female demographic, there’s no better name to have than the Tampod.
