Ipad hits stores... MB has the perfect outfit


The ipad has finally hit Apple stores in the United States.

And of course, Melissa Beth has a solution for this new Apple device!

Our 10.2" Pretty Printed Laptop Sleeve is the perfect size to safeguard the sleek ipad.

Although I am still not crazy about the name "i-pad", I am sure most women feel the same, the device sold 700,000 on the first day- and approximately 1 million over the entire weekend.

As a comparison the iphone only sold 270,000 opening weekend. So it seems as though the ipad, despite its name (sounds like a feminine product) is here to stay.

"The mocking goes along the lines of: Yes, the iPad is small, lightweight and slim. But can you swim with it?" wrote the Los Angeles Times' tech blog.

The term iTampon -- a riff on the fact that the iPad can be taken to sound more like a maxipad than a slick new computer -- was the third most-talked about trend on Twitter on Wednesday evening.

Some female bloggers wrote that Apple seemed not to have any women on its marketing team

"With "iTampon" quickly emerging as a trending Twitter topic, it's probably safe to say that many women found themselves cringing as they asked, 'Do any women work at Apple?' " wrote Annie Colbert on the blog "Holy Kaw!"
