The iPad’s name is a joke
“I think the iPad is a bad name choice. How are people in Boston supposed to differentiate between it and the iPod?” — amusing Reddit comment. Looks like Reddit is far from the only place making the joke:

And, of course, the infinitely more predictable iTampon:

Note that iTampon is trending on Twitter, while iPad is not. Although, to be fair, only roughly 1 in 10 tweets (over a highly scientific 5-minute real time search sample) mention iTampon.
