I liked the aforementioned suggestion of icandy. It fits too because of what half the owners will use it for.

That would have been a *good* name. iStone (as in a stone tablet or the Rosetta stone) would have been fine too. But no, they picked iPad, which is at the level of...

iStoned
i8
i8iBM
i8U
iWhite
iPute
iPuter (not to be confused with iPutter, their computerized golf club)
iShiny
iFrisbee
iSkip (skipping stone - when you throw your tablet computer in disgust; also brings to mind bad records/record players)
iDrumPad
iByte
iByte4U (or was that a 'Q'?)

Will their universal remote be the iOpen? I could swear there was a parody of such a product.

i think MadTV had this one figured out a couple of years ago:

iWillWaitTilItCanBeBoughtToJudgeIt

I would have named it iNote (get it?-instead of high note, and it's like a notepad, yeah I know that's bad)

Or perhaps the macpod, why does it have to be i-something anyway? Is this all America cares about these days? Oh wait yes it is...

Maybe iKindle? Just saying, it does look similar...

* it looks like they did the same thing with the iPhone that was done with remotes a few years ago and made it times the size so old people can see it.

Just shake it to clear the screen if you're unhappy with what you've typed.

iJitterbug (iJitterBig, iJitterPad) is the best one. perfectly describes the 'dumbed-down yet big enough for old people' aspect of being nothing more than a giant iPod Touch...

or perhaps:
iNintendoDS
iGameBoy
iPalmPilot
iEscalade (huge, expensive, pointless)
iNormous
iPod IIe (you must be OLD to get that reference)

and in honor of its poor size-to-functionality-ratio (digital equivalent to 'more filling, tastes bad'):

iZune

iNacronism
iAmStuckItheNineties
iCantWootThis
iPlacemat
iShelf

iPod Heavy (cant call it 'lite' by any measure)

gosh, the choices are endless

good news for all you iPod Touch owners. they are adding a new feature to the next software update. with this new feature, you can rub your iPod really fast and it will 'transform' into an iPad.

this is known as the Viagra feature.

my actual first reaction was:

i-ROFLOL

but, in researching this further.. it turns out this iPad is actually the iPhone as AT&T origionally designed it. that explains why it only rund on the AT&T network...

either that or this was an april fools joke built by apple designers that worked with ashton kucher for a never-aired episode of Punk'd. since Jobs didn't get the joke, he thought it was serious and decided to market this albatros.

it's almost like this is the best that apple could do while Steve Jobs on medical leave and couldn't attend the brainstorming meetings in Cupertino.

sort of like something a government task force would design.

i've been wrong before, but I can't imagine anyone but a FanBoy with bad eyesight wanting this thing.

if it could work with Hulu.com (flash) and multitask (so I could listen to iTunes while reading a book)... then maybe it could be interesting.

how could Jobs approve an idea that won't let me use iTunes while reading an iBook? I have to assume that they are going to deliver an OS upgade to add this obvious omissions.

geesh

Icanhaztablet

A couple of friends have dubbed it the Ideal Toilet Reading Device... the iTrd.

I'm going with that.
