If you want to be pedantic, it's actually iPod touch, no capital on the T.

Apple (Canada) - iPod touch - Now in white. It has fun written all over it. (http://www.apple.com/ca/ipodtouch/)

Looks Better as iPod Touch... Oh Well. Can't get everything from Apple.

While it is iMac, iPod, iPad, etc. it is actually having a terrible effect. My significant other has noticed an increase in children spelling other words with lower case i's. I think I may have read a study about it somewhere too.

Frustrating, not fustrating.

Library, not libary.

Also, there's no such words as addicting. It's addictive.

Actually, addicting IS in the dictionary as an adjective

Wow. Perhaps the children need to know when to put the lower case letters when spelling certain names or products. If kids know that it's McDonald and not Mcdonald, then they should be able to spell iPad and not Ipad...

I've been trying to find a resource I would trust to find out whether addicting is a word or not. The more I look the less convinced I am that it is a word. I cannot think of an instance where that word can be used correctly. Every place I want to use it, addictive is the word that should be used.

Addictive is an adjective. Addicting would at best be a verb used as a gerund, but no one uses it that way. They just use it as though it were an adjective, like a "smoking gun." These people are wrong, of course, but preventing wrong use of words is like stopping a tsunami.

As a tangent to this topic, when people think the Motorola ROKR with iTunes connectivity was made by Apple. XX)

I hear what that earlier poster was saying about the lowercase "i" -- I have to manually correct myself EVERY time I try to spell iRaq or iRan.

Reminds me of an old video.

Add me to the list of those who cringe every time I hear the word "iTouch" (shudder)

Worse yet, I've seen people starting to refer to iTunes Match as "iMatch" which just sounds like a bad dating site.

This seems like the thread to ask: how do you pronounce OS X - "OS ten" or "OS ex"? I became a Mac user in 2008, so the first time I saw OS X written, I didn't realize it was a Roman numeral for the 10th version of the Mac operating system, and thus said "ex." I've since discovered that X is indeed 10, but I'm still not sure if people call it 10 or X!

X, as in "ten." But not as in "Xmas."
