Ok so this more of a rant then anything else - nothing more!
Lets get one thing straight:
No it is NOT an iPad ...... at least not all the time - in the same way that a vacuum cleaner is not a Hoover!
If you need an explanation ............
You see just because Hoover make vacuums this does not make every vacuum a Hoover - so please stop calling it a Hoover when it's an Electrolux/Dyson etc. So in the same way just because Apple make tablets this does not make every tablet an iPad - so please stop calling it an iPad when it's a Sony/Samsung/Android/Windows etc. device.
And while I'm at it why do people Google everything? - especially when they search with Bing/Yahoo etc.
Please just stop it all and stop disrespecting products that have a name in their own right - please just get it right.
