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 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...
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.
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!

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

You think saying that every time someone calls it that makes them look stupid???Whenever somebody called it an iTouch, I say "Who the hell still talks about that? It's over ten years old!"

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 and as such know what its called.
QFT^100.
Well said, mate.
Thanks. Just noticed I said 'deliberating' when I meant 'deliberately'. Oops.

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?

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.
