If apple are so het up about the word PAD...
then all sanitary pad manufactures should sue apple for using the word PAD!

    .alpha, 06 Dec 2017Does it matter? No one is buying anything but iPad. Surface... moreI believe Chinese tablets are selling quite well in EU. Well, you can read reviews, comments in each device respective forums, etc. which are quite dominated by EU people.

              Yeah this is kinda bs. Mi reads as in Xiaomi, and they have 2 product lines Mi and Redmie, its dumb to think that MiPad was made to sound like my pad. stupid lawsuit won somehow.

              you dont read Xiaomy do you? Plus, Europe's majority isnt english and in those languages the sound of i reads as it should in Mi

                          I'm with Xiaomi on this one.
                          They have a lineup of "Mi" devices, that are not trying to copy anything.
                          It's just part of Xiao-Mi.
                          Apple sux

                            Typical of Apple to fuss over something like this so trivial, so greedy and controlling, lawsuit with Qualcomm, frequently also with Samsung - why I never buy Apple products. No SD card slots make you pay for more storage, no bluetooth mouse possible for iPads, minimal customisation, over pricing, got fined for trying to fix the price of e-books, the list of reasons to shun Apple go on. You have to do it their way or nothing.

                                  apple has every right to file a lawsuit. ipad and "my pad" is too obvious.

                                  if xiaomi release a new smartphone called xiaosung s9, im sure Samsung will take action too.
