<p style="text-align: left; padding-left: 30px;">Change your devices name. Not that big of a deal.</p>
<p>Look familiar to you?  It is (except for one word change) exactly the <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/technology/technology-news/dear-steve--20091125-jppa.html">reply</a> Mr. Jobs gave to the developers of <a href="http://thelittleappfactory.com/irip/">iPodRip</a>, now called simply iRip.</p>
<p>I mean come on Steve, it&#8217;s &#8220;not that big of a deal&#8221; right?  Oh what?  You have already done all of the code which mentions iPad?  You already have spent lots of <a class="zem_slink" title="Money" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Money">money</a> on <a class="zem_slink" title="Marketing" rel="wikipedia" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marketing">marketing</a> with the name iPad?  Well I am sure <a class="zem_slink" title="The Little App Factory" rel="homepage" href="http://www.thelittleappfactory.com/">The Little App Factory</a> didn&#8217;t do that at all so maybe this is different?</p>
