Maybe they considered a consumer entering a store and literarily requesting "The New iPad". Makes sense no?

Think there was some profound reason as to why they named it The New iPad to be honest it just seems a little stupid. Of course its the new iPad so there isn't much reason to call it that in the first place. It doesn't matter as they willk sell a bucket load and some more of these. They would had sold more if Tesco had honoured that

I don't know why but I always thought it was called war hammer lol.. Have you seen the episode of southpark where they rip World of Warcraft, very funny (you might find clips on youtube)
I do not like games like the game even though I never played it.

When it first kicked off I was exploring that 'Second Life' some of the success stories are amazing.. In the end my 'First Life' did not allow me enough time to invest fully in my second one..

*From a professional point of view the idea of leading a double life is a little bit too 'virtual' for my liking, if you get what I mean..

Yep seen that episode. Unbelievably funny. Well for a number of people it seems that their 'First Life' allows them enough time to invest a little too must in 'Second Life' Just wonder how.

Yeah. Fifa is also good online. Not really into massive multiplayer online games such as World of Warcraft AKA World of Wordcrack (because of its supposed addictiveness of course).
Sorry Bliss, quoting from your link:

"When the device goes on sale next week in the U.S. and several other countries, it will be 'the iPad' or perhaps 'the new iPad' - not 'iPad 3' or 'iPad HD,' as some had speculated...The lack of a new name may cause confusion for buyers, particularly since the older model, the 'iPad 2,' will still be sold."

Thank you Steve. Must wonder if they thought they were being incredibly smart by calling it The new iPad.
Sorry but don't think Tim Cook refered to it as the iPad 3. Think it is refered to as the new iPad. It is just that people find it easier to call it the ipad 3. Look at the heading over the Keynote picture, it says The new Ipad.

With so much spare capital and an army of developers they can afford to dabble their way to world domination, or the bits that are profitable

Agreed.
Business Partner advice needed 8th March 2012 11:15 AM
Well, I took everything that you have all said to me on board and held my stance. He is putting a little, and by little I mean little, bit more $ into the business until some of our clients money is due from progress payments. He did give a little rant and I told him that I couldn't do any more than I was doing though he stated he wasn't blaming anyone but he just wasn't goin to keep putting his hand in his pocket. He is an investor, not a worker.

I've also convinced him that we need a printer ourselves and someone to do it all and he has agreed.

Stranger things have happened!

What you guys did was give me the confidence to state my case and I felt good doing it. I'm in my 50's and not used to dealing with corporate type business people. I've learn't a valuable lesson and realise now that I've been very naive. Thanks to you guys I am going rethink where I stand and use some more assertiveness. Things can only get better and hopefully when things pick up I can buy him out.

Thanks again for all your advice.

Good luck. Please let us know how it goes for you.
