We're honestly getting a bit sick of cleaning up the nitpicking over this issue that has taken dozens of threads off-topic. As long as there is no genuine confusion over what the poster means, let it go. Please.
Feel free to vent here in this thread if it will help though. Just keep it in here.

Its annoying slang. The admins should do the world a favor and censor the word "itouch"
It reminds me of when I was a kid and all the old people calling every video game console and video game a "Nintendo." Or using Nintendo as a noun. You cant play a Nintendo and a Sega Genesis is not a Nintendo. Its ignorance due to laziness. Dont be ignorant and say "iTouch", there is no such thing as an iTouch and its not faster to type "iTouch" vs "touch."

Huh? Yes it is an iPod, its an iPod touch series. Where on the Apple site does it say its not an iPod but an "iTouch"?
I call it an iPod Touch, but who cares what people call it. And i really hate it when people yell at everyone else that calls it an iTouch. Who care, you only get angry because that is how you see everyone else react to it so people feel they should to. But if we all lived in a world where no body have ever heard it called an iTouch before, and no body had heard some body get angry over an iTouch, than if somebody said iTouch, than you would just let it slip over you head. Who cares, just ignore it, you know what they mean.
Yes brother, iTouch is not a word found in the Newspeak Dictionary. And those that use slang are clearly enemies of the State, but if we only censor what these dissidents write or say they'll still be able to think it.
Thought crime should not go unpunished! Yes, internment camps are cheap to build and highly effective but the Ministry of Love's ultimate weapon against these thought criminals is Room 101, for there we can make their brains perfect before we blow them out.
hahaha... finally somebody makes me fun today. why is it annoying when people it itouch? do you represent Apple? whatever it is called, it doesn't matter. even I am ridiculous to post like this here.
You left a few options off the poll. Both my wife and I have an iPod Touch, and now I've got a 4th gen Nano and she a 3rd gen Nano. So she keeps her hands off myTouch and myNano, and I keep mine off herTouch and herNano. Yet from her point of view, myPods are ourPods.
Wow, I'm surprised only one person has flamed you for that; let me be the next.
Then according to you, people should call the iPod nano, 'iNano' since it has different software and hardware features than the iPod classic?
The iPod touch is and iPod!!!!
It's just a different version of the iPod.
The Apple site says 'iPod touch.'
When Steve Jobs introduced the new iPod touch on Tuesday he didn't say "And now we're going to focus on the iTouch," now did he?
And on the back of the iPod touch it doesn't say 'iTouch' now does it?
That's from before I knew it had a lowercase 't.'
I have yet to update it.
There is no such product as an iTouch. And if there is, it's likely a no-name mockup of the iPod Touch from Apple.
I call it the iPod Touch, with a capital T, because saying "touch" sounds like a) the next word in the sentence, or b) a typo. Since you're still writing the title of a product, the T needs to be capitalized.

To the people having a fit over this: Is it really that much of an issue? Are you sure that your time is worth so little that you have to correct people on the internet? Do you have so little control in the rest of your life that you need to try to exert control over the branding of an Apple product? This is worse than the people who want everyone to call it "GNU/Linux" instead of Linux.

Actually, you're right and wrong.
There IS a product(s) called the iTouch; and even though they're mockup deviced they are still real products.
3 Different versions; iTouch, iTouch LE, and iTouch SE.
*look at the links I provided in my first post.
Speech - iPod Touch
Write - iPT, iPod Touch and Touch for variation.
I love watching the nerds get their panties in a twist one way or the other. Viva these inane threads.

I blame the iPhone for all this arguing over the name lol
my question is, if the iPhone never excisted and the ipod touch was still released would ppl refer to it as an iTouch ................ don't be quick to go of course they would because (and this is my thoughts) I think the iPhone made people start saying iTouch

Umm, yes I can. On the ipod touch.
By your line of thinking, we shouldn't be calling computers "computers" because the original computers did not have sound or a keyboard or a monitor. You couldn't do those things on the original computer, so it can't be called a computer.
stop bleating
I really wish people would stop bleating about the iPod T[t]ouch vs. iTouch thing. You know what they mean. It is more succinct, if not the official name. How come no one cares about grammar and spelling in anything that is not a brand name? Someone correcting there/their in a reply is being a pedant. It is equally puerile to dwell on the use of iTouch. Answer the questions asked, and grow up!

How is it an iTouch? where did that even start?
It's an iPod touch, it would be okay to call it a touch if you're in a forum where everyone knows you're talking about an iPod.
