I'm betting on the functionality of an iPod Touch but at a size more like current ebook readers, with a 6" screen.

As for "iPad," they could be defending that name just because it sounds so much like "iPod." Particularly in a language like Japanese, in which there are only 5 consonants and the pronunciations of "iPod" and "iPad" would be the same.
