You all must be well aware about the iPods. In fact, I am sure many of you must even be possessing one. But how many of you know what an iPod actually means? I hope most of you must be unaware of this fact. My article would provide you with information about the actual meaning of an iPod.

The iPod has its existence since eight years from now. It has been found that the iPods share about 70% of the market price as compared to the MP3 players. Looking at this figure it can be well imagined that the popularity and demand for the iPods has definitely increased since its invention in the year 2001. The question which arises in many minds is What is the actual meaning of the term iPod?

Well, being a gizmo freak myself I carried out a research on the topic and gained a good amount of information. I discovered that according to the creators of the iPod i.e. the Apple Inc, an iPod simply stands for Internet POD. The I stands for Internet and the POD stands for Portable Open Database which is basically the software which is utilized in the operation of the iPod.

At the time when Apple was thinking of launching the ...
... music devise into the market, it called upon a group of copywriters who were asked to find a name for the device. Among the group of copywriters there was a man with the name Vinnie Chieco who proposed the name iPod. It was after watching a prototype that Chieco was inspired by the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase "Open the Pod bay door, HA!" that an I was added by the Apple Inc and hence the name iPod was born. You can easily find an I before the names of most of the products manufactured by Apple like the iMac.

I hope by now you would have got a satisfactory answer to the question that came into your mind everytime you spoke the word iPod.
