The following information has failed Wiktionary's verification process.
Failure to be verified means that insufficient eligible citations of this usage have been found, and the entry therefore does not meet Wiktionary inclusion criteria at the present time. We have archived here the disputed information, the verification discussion, and any documentation gathered so far, pending further evidence.
Do not re-add this information to the article without also submitting proof that it meets Wiktionary's criteria for inclusion.
I can't imagine this will pass, since we need cites independent of Apple spanning three years, and the referent was released to the public in 2010.—msh210℠ 17:59, 14 April 2010 (UTC)
iPad is a name used for several pads of the iAge:
- iMaccessories iPad game controller,[1] attested in 1999.[2]
- Netpliance's i-Opener included a component called the IPAD, attested in 2000.[3]
- LG's Digital iPad, a linux tablet, is mentioned in 2001.[4][5][6]
- A 2005 ad for tablet computers in Business Review Weekly[7] has the phrase “Associates also use the iPAD devices to scan any out-of-stock items each ...” but I can't tell what it's about.
- Apple's iPad was speculatively mentioned by that name as early as 2005, published in Business Venezuela[8], and archived in full on the net “Indeed, a Technorati search turned up a blog revealing mockups of an iPad, a tablet PC-like device.”[9]
I found these by searching for iPad tablet. There may be more. We may be able to write a generic definition to describe the early history of the name. —Michael Z. 2010-04-15 17:04 z
- Should we have an entry for the i- prefix? —Michael Z. 2010-04-15 17:21 z
- The prefix seems like an excellent candidate. Not so sure about the generalized iPad idea. DCDuring TALK 21:06, 15 April 2010 (UTC)
