I've got a marketing slogan for Apple:

"iPad...it's for when you need more freedom when on your iPeriod."

if the IPad is a Pad to help with those heavy flow days, what is one to do with the Mini or the Shuffle ? tie a string to it, or just use the usb cord?

The only thing useful I've seen it do so far is run a Windows 7 desktop on it, full screen, via Citrix XenDesktop. Our guys have been doing it in house.

Default Killer app? The crapper.

For any computer to be truly successful, any industry professional will tell you that it really needs to have, is what is known as a "killer app", that single-most-important application that would make you want to own it.

After reviewing the video on this unit at the Apple site, I can truly say that I have figured out exactly what the "killer app" for this device is:

The crapper. That's where I'd best be able to make use of this device. It is at best the device that would replace my crapper magazine/book.

If it could be used to control everything then maybe I could see a use for it, change the heat settings in my house, change my tv channel, tell me whats in the fridge, run a bath for me, and be my alarm clock. Then I can see a need for it. Until then I have a cell phone a laptop, and a desktop, I dont need anything else.

tjakabon: "It surfs the web AND stops the bleeding."

Gelatobaby: And you can use the giant QWERTY keyboard to get your period on the #iPad!

CarolBlymire: Is #apple making an iPad for light-flow days? Just wondering...

Trish1981: iPad? Really? All I can say is, I'm sticking with Always, bitches.

tremendousnews: So I can say "That chick is on her iPad" and not be called a pig? Thank you Apple.

melissapierce: iPad has changed "the conversation" from how we use tech in context to how we use tech as Kotex. (who named this thing?)

TwittsMcGee: I haven't heard this many period jokes since I was forced to watch The View last month. #iPad

kathycacace: Okay, just one more. The iPad: protecting your data from embarrassing incidents.

Johnpapa: "64 gig iPad will forever be known as the heavy flow model."

From the comments section of "Period Pieces":

lady_justice: Did the prototype come with a belt?

Lymed: Does the Period Tracker app come free?

fauxfruit: If I order this, will my boyfriend and I have to worry if it comes late?

andBegorrah: If you and your friends all buy one, will they sync up?

boston_nj: Meh. I'll wait until they come out with the iDivaCup

morninggloria: Don't wear white jeans while using an iPad, and especially don't use an iPad in front of your crush. You're a teen magazine embarrassing moment waiting to happen.

ms negative the easy-going unicorn: someone needs to make a 'mysterious blue liquid stain on white' wallpaper for this.

LilSpitfire: Later in the year they will be releasing the companion tablet pen, the Ipon.

Vesuvius At Home (I believe in peace, bitch): But what if the cute boys see me shopping for one? What if my dad has to take me??

NellMood: It's so beautiful when an electronics company finally becomes a woman...

Cinnamoncanuck: @NellMood: Aunt Flo will be so happy! Reply

soykatrina: Eh, I prefer the CVS brand. A few bucks less but does the same thing...

vlvtjones: So will iffy Wifi coverage be called iSpotting?

morninggloria: Can I get a scented iPad for when my data feels not-so-fresh?

Mary McCarthyite: Everyone, just try to Stay(free) calm and Poise(d). It's Always nice to see a new product on the market. I Depend on Apple to come up with great ideas. Maybe we're taking this out of Kotex.

Lymed: Somebody give the iPad a Red Bull, because it ain't no good without wings.

andBegorrah: Are you there, God? It's me, Marketing.

NellMood: iPads are for 8th graders. I'm waiting for the iTampon, because I prefer to do all my interneting from inside my vagina.

BicSharpie: Hopefully it will help people deal with the 24-hour news cycle.

• Intense visuals, including three-dimensional clotting.

• Hardware tough enough to withstand leakage.

• Attention-getting aesthetics — sleek Winged Design™ will turn heads.

• Pets will love it...especially dogs.

• Stay-put adhesive — stick it in the palm of your hand and leave your other hand free!

• Convenient disposability keeps pipes unclogged.

• Customization: scented vs. unscented, light vs. heavy, pink vs. purple.

On the downside:

• Only the flimsy "teen" model will be small enough to conceal in your hand.

It's white, and black, and curved, and has a cute little apple on it.
