iPo/ad

Apple really surprised me with the iPad. Aside from it being manufactured by unicorns and fairies, what surprised me most was the name. I mean really? I can't imagine all the confusion while talking to a support rep. Especially for us foreigners.

India Phone Rep (IPR): "Sir, you are having difficulties with your iPo/ad?"

Me (Me): "What? No! I said I can't turn on my iPo/ad?"

IPR: "Sir, thank you for correcting me. Now what difficulties are you having with your iPo/ad"

Me: "BAH!"

Maybe this is their crafty way to force people to visit the Apple Stores for support to turn some more revenue.

It's Steve Jobs' legacy. Create a comedy sketch so great no one will remember Abbott and Costello.
