VIDEO: The iPad 'for Women'

by - source: Tom's Hardware US

Oh Apple, what have you done? Where did you get the iPad moniker from!?

The jokes from you guys have been rolling in. I won't go into detail but there's a lot of "MaxiPad" comments and snide remarks about lawsuits from Tampax. Searching for videos of the actual iPad (ones that don't require QuickTime), I came across a video/rendering from one YouTube user who was just mucking around in a, "I wonder what it would look like if Apple made a tablet" kind of way.

Right underneath that, I found this. Ah, MadTV, it's like you can see the future.

Check it out. It's funny but be warned, the audio could be a little NSFW. You might want headphones for this one.

Is everybody having fun? (I am not even amazed anymore how juvenile this site has become at times.)



So fun isn't allowed anymore? Lighten up.

Wait for a year so the sprint network is built and we might see a WiMax iPad.

Apple will have a legal battle on their hands in the States.
Fujitsu filed for the trademark in the U.S. on the iPad name back in 2003. It is a tangeable product in use in the States by retailers. Apple has until Feb 28th to try to wrangle it from Fujitsu. What muppets.

I have this video saved on my Desktop for about a week. I kept quiet because I did not believed that Apple will use the "iPad" name! I guess, I was wrong! LOL.

I guess I am just old, am I right?


Old, or boring, or something along those lines.

To put it succinctly, Apple has launched a product that has utterly zero appeal outside of their rabid fanbase, (by virtue of being an apparently inferior contestant to the tablet PC market, made salable only by slapping the Apple logo on it) and, to top it off, has made such a marketing gaffe by giving it a perhaps even more exploitable name than Nintendo's "Wii."

So I'd say it's all fair for everyone to have their round of laughs at Apple's expense. It'll probably cease being as amusing in a week or two, anyway.

I'm amused... that they think they have a god given right to go after a trademarked name that has been in use by Fujitsu for over seven years.

Probably the most retarted video i have ever seen. Lacks everything a video should have, leaves me
want to puke a bucket full.

"Vaginal firewall protection" hahaha

At least iSlate sounded badass. I'm still not sure why they called the iPod a pod.
