Why not a new name for small iPad - samintx - 10-24-2012

I hate the name iPad and now mini....talk about inappropriate sounding.

Newton MP2100 was already used...

ipod mini (no longer used)
ipad mini
mac mini

it's a naming convention that they use (or have used in the past) in other products, so they're staying consistent.

yeah, miniPad would sound better - right?


Re: Why not a new name for small iPad - digby - 10-24-2012

Yeah, I think anything else would be really awkward:

iPadTeensyWeensy
i8"Pad
7.9Pad
iCoaster
The New Smaller iPad!
iSmallPad
It'sLikeATinyLaptopWithoutAKeyboard
KindleKompetitor

Ooh, how about: LiliPad (like Liliputian...)


Re: Why not a new name for small iPad - Sam3 - 10-24-2012

NanoPad

OK, to keep consistent: "iPad Nano"

It's obvious...Tim was right to name the smaller iPad the "iPad mini." However, while he was doing that, he should've changed the name of the 4th generation iPad to "MaxiPad." Done.
