Poll: Users diss 'new iPad' name for Apple's next tablet

SodaHead also collects demographic data on those who vote in its polls -- often through access users have granted to their Facebook profiles -- but Feffer saw little there that explained the thumbs down on "the new iPad" name.

"Looking at the demographic breakdowns, where's the difference?" asked Feffer, who then pointed out one area -- education -- that showed a trend. "People with less education seemed more likely to not like the name than those with more education," Feffer said.

Apple unveiled the new iPad on March 7, but will not begin selling the tablet at retail -- or delivering pre-orders placed through its online store -- until tomorrow.

The iPad's lack of a number or additional description seemed to bother not only the majority of those polled, but also Feffer.

"What is Apple going to call the next iPad?" he asked. "The new, new iPad?"
