Compact and portable, at this price they’re also easily replaceable. Players like the screenless Apple iPod shuffle and the cute SanDisk Sansa Fuze are top picks.” (read the full article here)

What does iPod stand for?
Today’s question of the day is one shrouded in mystery and debate. There are several conflicting sources on this question however, the general consensus is that it stands for:
“iPod” = for “i” for Internet and “Pod” for “Portable Open Database”
Explanation: The “i” is the same as it is in iBook and iMac, it stands for “internet”. POD is from the internal prototypes Apple used to create the software, it stands for Portable Open Database which is essentially the software that runs an iPod.
Alternate answers include:
Interface Protocol Option Devices
Wikipedia offers this insight to the matter:
The name iPod was proposed by Vinnie Chieco, a freelance copywriter, who (with others) was called by Apple to figure out how to introduce the new player to the public. After Chieco saw a prototype, he thought of the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey and the phrase “Open the pod bay door, Hal!”, which refers to the white EVA Pods of the Discovery One spaceship.[5] Apple researched the trademark and found that it was already in use. Joseph N. Grasso of New Jersey had originally listed an “iPod” trademark with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in July 2000 for Internet kiosks. The first iPod kiosks had been demonstrated to the public in New Jersey in March 1998, and commercial use began in January 2000, but had apparently been discontinued by 2001. The trademark was registered by the USPTO in November 2003, and Grasso assigned it to Apple Computer, Inc. in 2005.
Well, there you have it folks. There is still no clear answer for what the iPod stands for. Perhaps it’s an acronym or maybe just brand name. You be the judge!

Check out what we dugg up from SlashDot…

Link to the original SlashDot article entitled, “Apple releases iPod”
The BrownFury writes
“At an invitation only event Apple has released their new MP3 player called the iPod. iPod is the size of a deck of cards. 2.4″ wide by 4″ tall by .78″ thick 6.5 ounces. 5 GB HDD, 10 hr battery life, charged via FireWire. Works as a firewire drive as well. Works in conjunctions with iTunes 2. Here are Live updates”
. No wireless. Less space than a nomad. Lame.
Not only did SlashDot insult the iPod it filed this article in the “well-thats-not-very-exciting dept.” We guess iPod had the last laugh here. SlashDot didn’t have it all wrong though. The original iPod wasn’t the most exciting multimedia player in the world, it just did what other gadgets did already - better. And it still does!
Slashdot is still an amazing website and continues to make good and bad predictions of the future
