10. I-Tampon (ignored due to possible trademark issues)
9. I-vannatablet
8. I-amandrethegiantsiphone
7. I-condom
6. I-Pod Macro (Greek for large, opposite of Nano)
5. I-canhascheezeburger (already taken)
4. I-buymaccauseidontknowbetter
3. I-tookamentalbreakandthisisallwecouldcomeupwith (My 2nd favorite)
2. I-dontgiveashitaboutthenamejustmakememillions (My favorite)
1. I-tab (oh wait, this might’ve actually been an ok name, why they chose pad over tab I’ll never know!)
