I have an iPod, I like it because it's the best portable player in term of music quality.

If this action is just because you don't want other people confuse iPod with other device, then it is because you Apple use the word 'POD' that other people already use it, beside the Line 6's pod products, my triPOD, and the POD used to make coffee, they use the name POD, A manufacturer even name their coffee maker GPOD. It's a everyday word already.

I don't see Sun Micro threaten other coffee maker or Cafe stop using the word JAVA because it confuse the real coffee with JAVA language. Shame on you Apple.
