I thought they were going to come up with something non-related like "iPod"

seems logical when you're trying to sell that you're creating a new category of device.

I think they should have gone that way. iPhone worked there because they were entering an existing market.

What they've done with the bad name here is make it a certainty that people continue to call these devices tablets.
