		watty on May 31, 2011 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Apple to unveil iCloud Monday, June 6 I don't mind it when paired with a unique product name but do find it boring when paired with an every day word, iPhoto, iBook, iPad, iCloud. What's worse is that this one uses the 'i' and 'Cloud' together... my Apple fanatic marketer is going to have a heart attack!

Other than perhaps iMac, which of Apple's i-products doesn't have their i paired with an every day word?

'iPod' is perhaps unlike any of the others - even iMac - in that even though 'pod' is an everyday word, the resulting product name is almost completely opaque.
