anyone know how iPods were named?

[HansBbans]

anyone out there know why iPods are called iPods? and what exactly the i stands for.

 

[imported_Snagle]

its just a continuation of the 'i' in the imac line. The iMac was given the i because it stands for internet and the original bondi blue imac was advertised as the perfect internet computer when it was first released.

Dude. Its Apple. They just put an "i" in front of everything they sell. The Pod part is irrelevant really.

"i" was popular a while ago, especially with apple (iMac, iBook, iLife, iOpener). It stood/stands for "internet".

Sort of like how "e" was popular before that (e-business, e-marketing, e-sales, etc)

"Pod", now, that's something else...Portable Object of Destruction? Please Offer Dollars? Popular Overhyped Device?

You see, the iPod connects to the iMac, that is hooked to the iBrick and iDisplay, controlled by the iKeyboard and iMouse, with which you can use the likes of iLife and iTunes. Then you can transer music to the iPod and play on your daily iWalk, in your iCar, iOffice, or iHome--even in an iWarehouse or iPub. It all fits in the perfect Apple iReality.
