Couldn't agree with you more about the name. I thought they were talking about a feminine product! Besides, the thing looks & acts like a giant iPod Touch.

Only enterprise would need the phone part of the iPad - like I mentioned above and in that other thread
Otherwise its just a iTouch which has a larger screen <-- you choose what size screen you want . Pro or Consumer iTouch
I'm planning on buying the $499 model. I don't own an iPhone or iPod Touch yet, so I think this is the perfect time to get in on the action.
What I'm hoping Apple will announce in the near future is a version of the iPod Touch with 3G data-only capabilities. I'd buy one of those in a heartbeat.
So, yeah, that name ~ iPad ~ wasn't doing much for me, either. What? No women on the design team? "Ah, Steve . . . ?"
While I'm here, I completely agree with whoever (sorry, hard day here at LaHacienda) said earlier ~ Thank god it's something I don't want for a change.
