See also Hoover/ vacuum cleaners.
not really the same as that, as as far as i'm aware people dont tend to call non-ipods 'ipods'? maybe similar to dysons, which often get refered to as 'dyson' instead of vacuum cleaner, but other vacuums don't </BLOCKQUOTE>

Why do people call their mp3 players 'iPods'? Post #22

my main point being, if you can be more specific about what it is easily why not be? everyone knows what an ipod is, so you can call it an ipod and everyone knows what you are on about. all the other mp3 player brans you cant do this with, so a general term has to be used so people know without you spending ages explaining what it is
Everyone knows what an mp3 player is, so why do you have to specifically point out that yours is an 'iPod'?
What difference does naming your device by its brand have? The majority of non-iPod's are simply called 'mp3 players' and thats sufficient, so why does the iPod get seemingly special treatment? That's my point.

your point is crap. If someone owns a Dell they call it a Dell. Not a Standard ATX case with core2duo and half a gig of ram
