iPod
iPhone
iPad
iMac
iBook
iBrowse
i-vtec
iWeb
iPhoto
iChat
iMovie
iTunes
iDVD
iCal
iTopic (or ITopic)
iCarly

Re: Products named i-something
It orignally stood for "internet," meaning it was simple to use to connect to the internet, but now it's just a mark of an Apple device.
What's with all the sudden Apple threads?

No, that's ITopic. Index Topic.
Just realized that's what it was instead of Important, lol.
And no one bothered to correct me

Ai
THAT IS INCORRECT
"i"s (lowercase) do not have any meaning in acronyms except to techisize it. (lol, made-up word time!) So therefore, AI is not an "i" word because the i actually means something and is capitalized.
