Many times you must be wondering about the meaning of names of the everyday gadgets. Like for example, have you ever thought what the ‘i’ stands for in iPod and DSi. A quick search in google will let you know that in case of Apple’s iMac brand, the ‘i’ originally stood for internet. However, an Apple rep said that the i in iPod was just a brand name and not an acronym.

It was guessed that the ‘i’ in DSi stood for ‘interactive’. But a Nintendo rep said that the ‘i’ in DSi means two things: the ‘i’ is symbolic of the subject “I” and its personal aspect. Also, the addition of two cameras gives the system its own “eye” on things.
