Yeah, but you forget about the cult of Apple. Masses of people want the thing because it was made by Steve Jobs and Co., regardless of what it's called. And I have to admit, I think I'd look pretty freaking cool holding one of those things in my hands, surfing the web or watching a movie wherever I please, regardless of the name. It's a dumb name, but it won't dilute the cool factor one bit.

Also, $499.oo for the power and capacities of this device is hardly paying through the nose. Unlike other Apple product launches, this one is actually coming to market at a very reasonable price.

We'll just be putting up with 6 months of lame jokes from the pundits.
