Apple iPad Air

Bleh.

Sure, the original iPad worked just fine for watching movies and playing Angry Birds, but you need this one because it’s all newerer and stuff.

I don’t get Apple’s rationale in naming it’s products these days. Why would they name the newest iPad after it’s line of thin laptops? Are they planning on discontinuing the Air laptops and and only selling iPads? It just seems like it would confuse consumers.
