"iTouch" or "iPod Touch"?

[wordmunger]

Which name do you prefer? My wife calls hers an iTouch. Personally I can't stand that name; I always call it the iPod Touch.

[LeahM]

I just call it my Touch.

[wordmunger]

I just call it my Touch.

That's much better than iTouch, in my book. "iTouch" just seems wrong.

[intempo808]

I call it an iPod Touch, or just an iPod. I hate iTouch. It wasn't named that, and it never will be, so why bother using it, except if your lazy and dont want to type the other few letters and the space... ooooh, what a hardship... :p

[IJ Reilly]

It seems wrong because it is wrong. ;)

The Apple Ministry of Names has declared this product to be the iPod touch (with the lower-case 't').

Sure, but I don't have a problem with other shortenings, such as MBA, MBP, etc. Somehow "iTouch" is different. And I couldn't care less whether "touch" is capitalized.

I've also seen people using iPot. Which is just weird.

iPod Touch, iTouch is just silly, where is it called that????

I don't really care either, but if the question is which two is "right," obviously only one of them meets this qualification. I suppose Apple is at least partly to blame for creating such a convoluted naming scheme for their products.

[purpletarzan]

I call it both depending on whether I really feel like saying that extra syllable. I am usually really anal about this sort of thing but in this case I don't mind people saying iTouch so much because the touch is so much different than than any other iPod.

[RST]

i hate itouch.

any one ever accidently refer to their touch as iphone ever? happens to be all the time.

no one calls the shuffle ishuffle, or the nano inano so why would itouch even be an option?

[TheSpaz]

I cringe at the word iTouch

Nobody calls the other iPods iClassic or iNano do they?

iTouch is a word some n00b came up with somewhere and all the other n00bs joined in and thought it would be cool to call it that too.

It makes me almost as sick as Imac, I-Mac, I-MAC, Ipod and iPoT.

Just for the record iPoT is lame too.

[anti-microsoft]

Is the iPod shuffle called iShuffle?
Is the iPod Nano called iNano?
Is the iPod classic called iClassic?

I rest my case...

[7on]

Actually I work for a company that was giving away a Touch in a drawing.

We looked up on Apple's PR page and it's actually iPod touch with a lowercase "t"
:eek:

Yes, and officially it's the "Mac mini."

Which no doubt someone will repeat in a few posts from now.

[mkrishnan]

I prefer saying iPod touch (no, I didn't realize it was a lowercase "t") in situations where there is ambiguity (or Touch if I really don't feel like saying two words) and just iPod in situations where there is no ambiguity or relevance (I was listening to music on my iPod).

I find iTouch irritating for some reason also. That and iTooth, although thankfully that one seems to have died out.

[IJ Reilly]

I find iTouch irritating for some reason also.

If you keep iTouching it you'll get an iRash.

[mikelong622]

iTouch just seems like a dumb word. Like when companies feel like being "new" and "trendy" so they slap the letter "I" on the front of all their products.
iSleepingBag, iCoffee, etc, etc. iTouch makes me sick.

Reminds me of a popular Mad TV skit.

Can't stand people who call it an iTouch.

Definately. But whats worse is that when I got my iPod touch when it first came out, everyone thought it was an iPhone. I can't tell you how many people asked me if I had an iPhone. Im like people...are you dumb!! come on. There are some pretty obvious differences. (black rim around, no cut out for the speaker) God. lol But know that I have my iPhone, they understand. haha

I would rather it be an iPhone than that other alternative

[eXan]

In life I call it Touch.

In internet I call it iTouch or iPT. "touch" is so wide-spread word (unlike nano or shuffle) to just call it "touch" on the internet because it could be confusing to some.

[TuffLuffJimmy]

well I like it when people call it an iPhone (much better than iTouch in my opinion)

I always correct them and tell them it's an iPod. They then think it's a knock off (not realizing Apple makes both) and they ask me who makes it....

[mattwestbright]

I refer to mine as just the "touch". Although if Apple ever release a tablet I think they will probably go with "MacBook Touch" as a name.

[MacRy]

Does it really matter! You know what people mean when they say iTouch so why be such a pedant about it. I wonder how many people who hate it being referred to as an iTouch type MS or M$ or Micro$oft when they mean Microsoft. Get over it already!

I agree with you 100%. It's just NOT what it's called. Apple called it an iPod touch for a reason... it's an iPod with the secondary name "touch"... not an iTouch. If Apple adopts this term, I will kill myself.

In response to your signature, I actually saw someone use "iClassic" over at iLounge. It annoyed the he'll out of me.

You can say that there are bigger things to worry about than what someone calls an MP3 player, but it really, really gets to me. Of course there are more important things, there always are. I'm just saying that calling an iPod something it's not supposed to be, especially when it sounds completely retarded, really gets to me. And I'm clearly not alone.

All my friends are like "thats cool Austin, you got the iTouch???!!!!" and I always mumble under my breath, "It's actually an iPod touch". To me it sounds like purebred ignorance, I have no idea why, but it just makes me want to hit people.

Oh, oh! To the people who call it an iTouch, just read my explanation of why it's not called that, I swear it's not as violent as the above paragraph. :)

Ahem *cough, cough* Here we go:

The iPhone is called an iPhone because it's a completely new platform, if they ever came out with an iPhone Pro, it wouldn't be called the iPro, people would designate it as the platform name (iPhone) then the second name (Pro). Same thing with the Mac Pro and Mac mini, MacBook Air, and MacBook/MacBook Pro. The iPod touch is a member of the iPod platform, therefor it's the platform name (iPod) then the second name (touch). iPod touch!

I think the most annoying thing here is that people get worked up when someone calls it 'iTouch'.
iPod Touch or iTouch, you know what they're talking about, it's just a convenient abbreviation - if it's accepted to say 'Mac' instead of 'Macintosh'...

iPod touch

That is the official exact name. On the Apple website usually when you see iPod it's in bold and the name afterwards (touch, classic, nano) is in regular font.

Guys, I have no idea whether this has any relevance what so ever, but i believe that Apple cannot officially call the iPod touch an iTouch because that seems to be the name of my Logitech PC wireless keyboard...

See the attached screenshot of some of the settings

Since this keyboard is what... 4, going on 5 years old now, surely the name must be trademarked or something... restricting Apple of that name?


Edit: This (http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-9670510403-iTouch-Keyboard/dp/B00004VUFB) is another iTouch logitech keyboard - not my one exactly, but similar. Just shows you i'm not talking complete jibberish.

It sucks cause so many people use iTouch. Google iTouch and guess what the first thing that comes up is? Apple's homepage of the iPod touch. I hate the defiling name iTouch, and so many YouTube videos and blog posts call it that.


Also, off of Wikipedia.
"iTouch may refer to:
A Logitech keyboard range released in approximately 1998 [1]
The Parent Company of Ostrich Media, a provider of interactive television services
The Pasen iTouch, a touchscreen Portable media player. [2]
Apple's iPod touch, a portable media player released in late 2007."

I call it my Touch

[mavis]

So you guys are honestly trying to tell me I don't have an iTouch? That's ridiculous.

[Ubuntu]

I call it an iPod Touch, or just an iPod. I hate iTouch. It wasn't named that, and it never will be, so why bother using it, except if your lazy and dont want to type the other few letters and the space... ooooh, what a hardship... :p

Why bother making a big deal about it? All I've noticed so far is people who know that the iTouch is a nickname for the iPod touch, and then the people who deliberating make a problem out of it. Who cares if some people call it the iTouch? You still know what they're talking about, right? Like I said, the only problem I see is that some people like to pretend they don't know what iTouch means, because they 'hate' it. How can you hate something so meaningless, so small?

What you have is an iPod touch. Whether you choose to call it an iPod touch, "iTouch", or "Ivan the iPod" is entirely up to you, but it is still an iPod touch.

[alexlovesmacs]

both lmao

[maclover001]

Whenever somebody called it an iTouch, I say "Who the hell still talks about that? It's over ten years old!"

Immature I know, but it makes them look stupid! :)

[zap2]

I call it an iPod touch, or a "touch"(if someone asks me what type of iPod is good)

iTouch is just wrong...I don't know where everyone got his name

Umm, no. I bought an iTouch. That's what's sitting on my desk in front of me. If you're unfamiliar with that device, just Google it and click on the first result.

Google don't know absolutely everything.

Go on the Apple website and look what it is called. Apple make the iPod touch (http://www.apple.com/uk/ipodtouch/) and as such know what its called.

QFT^100. :D

Well said, mate.

Thanks. Just noticed I said 'deliberating' when I meant 'deliberately'. Oops.

thats so when people like you, who are calling sompthing by is improper name go looking for it, you are corrected and showed what it really is, complete with its real name

[alphaod]

And it's a result of it being calling incorrectly a bit too much.

What is "Bual booting?"

two operating systems on one harddrive, with the option to boot into either one at startup

[mavis]

Google don't know absolutely everything.

Go on the Apple website and look what it is called. Apple make the iPod touch (http://www.apple.com/uk/ipodtouch/) and as such know what its called.Rather presumptuous of you to tell me what I can call my iTouch, don't you think? Anyway, it's a nickname. Haven't you ever had one of those yourself? :confused:

[mavis]

two operating systems on one harddrive, with the option to boot into either one at startupNo, what you're describing is dual booting.

[notjustjay]

You are being pedantic. But thank you for finally admitting that "iTouch" is a nickname and not an official product name, which is exactly what I've been saying for a while now. You can call your iPod touch whatever the heck you want, but the official name is still iPod touch.

I used to drive a Chevy. Everyone knows what a Chevy is, it is a generally accepted nickname, but all the official GMC literature refers to Chevrolet, because that is what it is officially called.

I don't really see your point, maybe I'm out the loop but I've never heard of 'Bual booting' and surely changing a B to a D uses no more characters?

"D"ual booting, not "B"ual booting.

You know kinda like "iPod touch," not "iTouch?"

Irony FTW!

[stana2z]

I use iPod touch or just plain iPod.

Although it's more of an iPDA :D

thats a misspelling, not a retarded nickname

It is fixed now, I haven't looked at my sig in a while since I use the wiforums alot (but not 100% for those who like to find errors)

[koobcamuk]

i hate itouch.

any one ever accidently refer to their touch as iphone ever? happens to be all the time.

no one calls the shuffle ishuffle, or the nano inano so why would itouch even be an option?

It's mostly non-Mac users that call it this I have found. Pisses me off.:mad:

[mavis]

thats a misspelling, not a retarded nicknameRather ironic though, wouldn't you say? I mean, you waste most of your sig space whining about what people call their iPods but then you turn around and use your own made-up word. AND miss it when it's pointed out to you! TWICE!!

Too funny. :D

[big-blue-wolf]

I didn't tell you what to call your iPod touch, just informed you of what the manufacturer actually calls it.

[jdwingnut]

iPod touch, iTouch, iPot or nano.

Why not just iPod. After all it is just another Apple portable music player with some added personal apps, except with a different interface :eek:

This.

[Switz213]

yeah iPod Touch definitely.

sometimes I call it the touch, but I absolutely hate it when people call it the itouch.

I always think "I Touch" when people say that, not necessarily about the iPod. At least not immediately

[mavis]

This.
Seriously, I don't know which part was funnier: making the error in the first place (in a sig, no less), completely missing it when it was brought to his attention (twice), or the fact that he is so obnoxiously adamant about people using made up words. :p

[xUKHCx]

I really don't see this thread going anywhere different from what has already been said over and over again.

In all honesty what does it matter you all know what device they are talking about especially in this forum.
