The funniest part about all of this is I have yet to purchase an apple device (I run Ubuntu myself), but I can't not watch these presentations. It would be great if there were other tech companies with such well presented products and ideas that really made you say 'wow'.

Jobs is truly wonderful salesman, all right. He knows how to play a crowd like a violin.

Really? The iPad? Sounds like something my wife would send me to the store for...I'm just sayin' :-)

Speaking as a Brit, to me, `iPad' sounds like how an American might pronounce `iPod'.

There's definitely some ambiguity there with the names being so similar. Especially, as you pointed out, when considering accents.

It helps that the engadget live bloggers are fawning idiots.
