iPod touch Does the term "iTouch" annoy you?

[bigjnyc]

The day something so petty and stupid like that bothers me, I will immediately stop what I'm doing and go out and get a life. You'd have to be the biggest geek in the universe to have the name used to refer to an electronic device bother you. seriously.

I can see why some people get annoyed by it (e.g. if you said iNano on this forum you would be eaten alive), but I personally don't mind it.

No.

But this is kinda a taboo topic- read the sticky at the top of the forum.

Yep

Yep

And just in case anyone can't find that.....

iTouch vs iPod Touch
There is a long standing issue with people bickering over iTouch vs. iPod Touch.

It derails the thread and as I have said previously it is getting really quite tiresome. We all know what the person means.

Yes.

Yes

I have a mate who uses that phase all the time. I used to let it slide but now he has started saying Snowy Leopard also! Grrrrrrrrrr <slap>

It bothers me a little.

However, I usually don't say anything unless I am asked a question about the iTouch, then I respond with iPod touch.

I say it because I'm lazy, and I'm just awesome enough to get angry at other people who call it that but are obviously clueless. There's no G3 iPhone, the iMac you have is not an eMac, the current notebooks are not PowerBooks or iBooks anymore, and for God's sake when referring to the Apple Store do not call it: iTunes Store, iMac Store, iPod Store, Mac Store, iPhone Store! I get to hear all of these on a weekly basis.

2 of the 3 computers in daily use at my house are an iBook and an eMac. In fact, i've never owned an iMac!

Which means, i wouldn't be using the wrong names when talking
