yanike Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 When I first heard of the iPod, I kept calling it iPad for some reason. My girlfriend at the time kept correcting me. As an inside joke, I printed Yanike's iPad on my first iPod and also printed Wildfire (my first ever written song) on it. I would have never thought that Apple would release a product named that.

error404ts Posted January 27, 2010 Share Posted January 27, 2010 It should have been called the MacPad. If it were running Macintosh OS I could see that, but it's running the iPhone OS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Growled Member Posted January 27, 2010 Member Share Posted January 27, 2010 Maybe you should sue Apple for stealing your idea. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subject Delta Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 Maybe you should sue Apple for stealing your idea. :D I just thought that as well :laugh:, of course you probably won't get anywhere as Apple seem to think that they own the trademark to every word prefixed with a lower case i Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phantom Helix Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 It should have been called the MacPad. thats even worse, to close to MaxiPad :rofl: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nav1sk Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 That's pretty great. You've had an iPad before anyone else :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quillz Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 thats even worse, to close to MaxiPad :rofl: Apple should have just called it the Newton 2.0. Anything ending in "Pad" is a pretty lame name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Rev Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 I think they would have been better off calling it iTab.. seeing as its a tablet pc.... Never heard of a Pad/Padlet pc :-p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V-Tech Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 They should have called it iDontNeedIt Just giant version of iPod Touch... You would think that after so long that the iPhone/Touch is out there someone would think of putting Flash on it and make it run few apps at the same time!!

Hot Posted January 28, 2010 Share Posted January 28, 2010 If you think Maxi Pad jokes are bad now, just wait until the iPad (PRODUCT) RED. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southern Patriot Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I think they would have been better off calling it iTab.. seeing as its a tablet pc.... Never heard of a Pad/Padlet pc :-p Not a Star Trek fan then, are you? PADD is what the tablet computers used on Star Trek are called. That was the first thing that came to mind for me when I heard about the iPad. Apple has used Star Trek references before, so it wouldn't be surprising to me in the least if that is what they were basing the name on. Many of the PADDs used on Star Trek even resemble the iPad, and most are around the same size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
