On the day of “the announcement” the excitement was building and the conversations, rumors and guesses were heightening to a fever pitch. I tweeted out earlier that day: “If it’s called the iPad someone should get fired”. That may seem extreme but I stand by it.
I still think this because who did they test this on? Who was asked about the choice? How was it decided? I go through often in my sessions that testing is essential to design, and I think as much as the product will have been tested, the name is also important.
It may not seem a huge deal but actually I hate saying it. So I don’t. That’s not good PR. Also because of all the childish jokes I am embarrassed to say it. I am referring to it as the Tablet or iNewton.
oh ya and searching for information on an iPad actually showed ads for Ann Summers.
Erm thanks for that Google, but not quite what I was looking for! I’m not sure how they could have gotten something so essential so wrong. *disappointed*
