iPad

It's sort of funny that the only major thing those in the rumor business got wrong was the name of the new iPad. It's not the previously presumed "iPad 3", nor is it the "iPad HD". It's just the iPad. And that's what it will be from now on. This was surprising because our expectations were set for a new name. But it really shouldn't be all that surprising. My iMac is not the "iMac 11". My MacBook Air is not the "MacBook Air 4". The iPod line changes, but the name remains the same. This will undoubtedly happen to the iPhone line as well. Just as the spec is dying (more than partially ushered to the grave by Apple), the ascending number naming race is dying too. It's about simplicity. Apple can pull this off because they have so few products and they're in complete control of all of them. Their software isn't licensed to other OEMs. The iPad doesn't have to be called the "iPad 3X HD S" just to beat the "iPad 3X Turbo" made by a competitor. There are no real competitors. Not yet, anyway. The naked "iPad" name alone is enough to win.
