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.
tampod is my fave.
