"I-pod" is not a brand name. "iPod" however, is.

I guess it's gone the case of the Kleenex. Not all tissues are made by Kleenex, but Kleenex is the colloquial term for them. Haha.

I have a memorex....It doen't look anything like an ipod! But all my friends are like, "hey, can I see your ipod?"
Then I always say "look, I don't own an ipod."

So true. I have a Sansa Fuze, and everyone keeps calling it an iPod. Which is annoying, because it looks a lot like one.

It's cool to see you included Zen in this, since it's my media player of choice.

When you look at all the features non-Apple mp3 players have [radio, for one] and then compare prices, I don't really get what the big deal is about iPods. I have a Sansa Fuze, and I love it. [Plus it has a memory card slot, so it's impossible to fill it up! 8D]
I've been asked several times what model iPod I have, since nobody's ever seen a Sansa before, apparently... [Even though you can get them at any store that sells electronics and accessories except a brand-specific store, and they're not take-card-to-purchase or locked in a case, either...]
My dad has a Zune, and that's a great mp3 player too, I just like my Sansa best. =3
Stop calling it an iPod, people. It's not. "Fuze" sounds cool, "iPod" sounds lame. D:

Zune is a far superior product to the IPOD... i also had little creative zen along time ago. It was good.

apple's marketing was executed sucessfully enough to convince todays ignorant masses that an ipod is not equal to an mp3 player.

Interestingly enough, I was just discussing this matter with a friend of mine on the bus today when she called her Phillips digital music playing device an iPod.
I wonder if this is a sign that iPod may become another genericized trademark, like thermos.
