I remember sitting on my friend's couch drinking beer when they announced the iPad and debating if it was ever going to be popular. Time marches on.

I was working at Apple and wondering the same thing ;)

I remember the total uproar about the name! Everyone said it was too close to a Feminine hygiene product, or too close to iPod. Nobody's complaining any more.

It is too close to iPod imo, but they killed that line around the same time.
