The " i " in iPhone
Ok, except the original meaning of that " i ", which escaped me, lol, what do you think is the real meaning of it. What does it stand for? Ingenious?

its like a branding of apple product. originally meaning internet it was more like the "e" from e-mail. But now it is a way of showing its "relation" i suppose to all of apples other products.
iTunes , iChat, iPod, iStore.. etc....Being an i can be a lot of pressure. you have to live right up to the small point.

Yup. The first "i" was the "iMac" which was introduced right as the internet was getting started....so it was kinda short for "internet Mac". Then as seann33uk stated, it became a branding.
