Almost instantly after Apple announced the much-hyped tablet device they call the iPad, #iPad naturally became a trending topic on Twitter. Makes sense, right?
Not long after the announcement, #iTampon also began trending. People have dirty, dirty minds...right? Actually, #iTampon is a joke referencing a MadTV skit from 2007 in which advertised a femminine care product from Apple called...oh yeah that's right, the iPad.
Aside from this epic fail on Apple's part, I must say calling this new tablet device an iPad was a poor choice for the company. With some of the greatest marketing minds in the industry, we knew they wouldn't call the device an iTablet or anything too generic, but something more like the iSlate would have been much better than iPad...it just doesn't resonate with the company or its customers, and it sound too similar to iPod. But, that's just my opinion ;-)
