Have you heard about the iPad? For the more discreet user, I now introduce the iTampon!

Apple's new tablet has been released - and to everyone's disbelief, it's been named the iPad! It has been asked if there are ANY women on Apple's marketing team, as the collective twelve-year-old minds of the internet promptly created the 'iTampon'.
And with Steve Jobs describing the new iPad as "so much more intimate than a laptop" is it any surprise?

This has, of course, led to a flood of iPad jokes, the best of which have been collected here! Come add yours!

The iPad Name - Marketing Fail or Marketing Win?

Will the iTampon give wings to the iPad or put a serious cramp in Apple's day?

The iPad name appears to be following the iPod, iPhone trend - but has already been claimed for other products by other companies.However, Apple tends to win its copyright fights and it's possible that they're holding back the 'preferred' names (e.g. iSlate) for future products.

But why didn't they realise it was such an *hem* intimate name? Was that the point? Or did no one realise? As yet there has been no visible response or official reaction from Apple about the iTampon debacle. who describes the i{ad as "a magical and revolutionary device"

On the one hand, it is probably a result of a very low number of women in Apple's upper echelons. On the other hand, women make up 83% of electronic purchases or directly influence a larger number thereof, in the US. So you'd think they checked women as a target group.

And possibly worst of all - "iPod" and "iPad" will sound identical with a Boston accent.

Did they do it on purpose? Does Apple even care?
However it also generated an enormous amount of publicity for Apple - perhaps they think it's worth the connotations? Although there was plenty of excitement already...

What do you think? Was it a clever marketing gimmick? Or ultimate Apple Fail?

Loading Fetching blurbs now... please stand by

Marketing Fail. Big time.

PaulOnBooks says:

Sales and Marketing: where men do the "creative" stuff and women look pretty. Aaargh.

Pastiche says:

As a women and a marketing pro, I had the same exact response when I first heard the name - what were they thinking? Must have used the same marketing firm that coined the phrase "have a happy period" - oh, puh-leeeeezze!

Actual, I think they'll do quite well out of it.

hefa says:

People thought the name "Wii" was a big fail too when Nintendo announced it. Now everyone's familiar with it and everyone knows it. They got a lot of press just because people thought the name was stupid, just like the iPad.

Inside Steve's Brain

What Was Apple Thinking?

Steve Jobs is Apple. Therefore what Apple does is because of Steve. Logical!

Inside Steve's Brain

Amazon Price: $7.77 (as of 02/17/2012)Buy Now

The author devotes much time to the sensational aspects of Jobs' life, including his demeaning and ferocious interactions with employees, his relentless high-mindedness and fanatical attention to detail, clearly demonstrating how his tyrannical and perfectionist impulses have have shaped the award-winning designs and consumer-friendly products that have made Apple a juggernaut. Though it doesn't penetrate the Mac man's psyche too deeply, and sections on tangential figures like Apple design guru Jonathan Ive and Apple Store visionary Ron Johnson can meander, those searching for a telling portrait of Jobs's management style and its impact on Apple will not be left wanting.
