Comments on: An iPad By Any Other Name Would Be Less Stupid Sounding

My sister bought me a PDA. I put everything in it. The next time I pulled it out of my purse, the batteries were dead (it had been so long.) I changed the batteries. And then the next time I pulled it out of my purse, it was dead again. And then I realized that I was basically carrying around a small paper weight – and I lost it.

The thing about the diamond-encrusted ipad (and maybe this says more about me than the product) is that it looks just like something you could get at Claire’s. If I were carrying that thing around, I’d be constantly whipping it out and scratching it against random panes of glass just to prove that they were real diamonds.

Classic Aunt Becky! Love it. I much prefer to put ink to paper than use google calendar or any of that techy crap.

I just can’t get over the name of it. iPad? Sounds like an electronic sanitary napkin.

a diamond iPad sounds damned uncomfortable, I mean can you imagine if you got a wedgie? Oh, wait…

I have one of those old PDAs… in another couple of years it’s going to be an antique! Then I’ll have a TI-85 and a kick-ass PDA and you bitches will be like “how’d she get all the cool vintage electronics? Do you remember when circuit boards used to be that big?”

But these days, I’m a fan of my Blackberry (and Google calendar) and use Levenger paper products for everything else. Levenger stuff never needs an upgrade and if you drop it, the world doesn’t end!

But the important question is- does Coach make a pink ipad case? Cause that would be awesome. I used to live and die by my day planner- now it is all in my iphone- I defected.

Freaking AWESOME post aside, why does the hyper link in the address field read “an-ipad-by-any-other-name-would-SMELL-less-stupid-sounding?” Just wondering.

Those early PDA’s were a pain in the butt. I never owned one, and when I was considering it, played around with my boss’s for a little while – it was about as user-friendly as a chocolate teacup.

Let me know how you like the iPad – I think it sounds a little too femmy sanitary for me, and I’m having trouble trying to figure out what niche it would fill in my life, but it looks cool.
