Um, no... Must be her brand. This really IS a stretch. I noticed she said, White Men as well. Does she think if a black man were in the board room the name wouldve been different? Its clear they called it the iPad because its like an electronic legal pad (OF PAPER!!!).
Perhaps because it was also close to "iPod" - iPad/iPod?

>> Groan alert! Did anybody here think of “iKotex” when the “iPad” was revealed?
Nope. And neither do I associate Estrich with laptop.

"Not me... I suppose one must have a certain fixed mindset already to make that connection." Same here -- and that "certain fixed mindset" is known to professionals who treat mental aberrations as "infantilism"...
