what would you call it instead?

Apple Mac Portable Music Player?

originated from iMac which meant Internet mac (Cheap/simple computer designed to get everyone on the internet). Then apple kept the i infront of their product names.

To be honest it annoys me now. needs a change.

First it stood for the Internet Macintosh.
Then other Mac products got the i too: iBook (built-in modem, check), iTunes (streams music from the internet... okay...)
But Apple used the term more and more often: iCal, iMovie, iPhoto, iPod... so it vaguely described consumer line products...
Other companies adapted the "i", like in iPaq...

So the "i" nowadays means very little. This is the history of the "i".

The i is very important. Without it, product value vastly decreases. Computers and mp3 plaeyrs without it cost far less.
