Steve Jobs IpadThis post is dedicated to the great Steve Jobs.

Thank you for creating the best name ever for a heavily anticipated device.

We can’t thank you enough for the iPad. (**snicker**)

We hoped and prayed that you wouldn’t give into conventional naming like iSlate or iTablet or iSaac*.  As we debated about the naming of the device we got giddy at the first mention of something that sounded like a social media tampon.

The Apple iPad. (**snicker**)

There’s a black 16GB, 32GB, or even a 64GB model for those heavy flow days on the Internet. But, thankfully, it’s not available in white.

And don’t worry about spotty 3G coverage. You’ll get WiFi with this standard.

Thank you, Apple, for all the fun we will have over the next few years and it’s nice to see you catering your products to women. We guess the iPad name is better than their second choice, the MaciPadheehee….(say it out loud)

The promise of jokes to come from naming your device the iPad (**snicker**) is so beautiful that we will overlook for now that you just spent an hour and a half trying to convince us that the large iPod Touch in your hand is revolutionary.

You’ve earned it. Congrats.  You have re-invented the NetBook as only Apple could.

While not all fans are happy with the device, we are quite pleased.

*= as in Newton,…wink, wink
