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!)

Ya know the minute the announcement was made about the I-pad, I knew it was going to go down bad, I mean my first thought was – I bet people are going to make fun of the ‘pad’ as a feminine hygiene product. Next day there were so many blog posts, and twitters about that very fact. My only questions to Steve Jobs is:

What were you thinking!

Steve’s Answer:
