The comedians are having a field day. e.g. The base iPad is $499 so how much is the iPad with wings?
Or Apple has just announced a smaller screened iPad -- the iTampon.

And this is hillarious

I'm obviously missing something. What is amusing about the name? It's clearly an analogy to writing pads, etc.

Hmm, I think I found the problem with the name... Not enough women work with the Apple Naming Department!
