Apple added the "I" to the Imac to stress the computers ease and capabilities when working with the internet. Like kleenex, the name just really caught on so now they put the I on non-computer products as well

The I in ipod, imac, ipad, iTunes etc... means INTEL!!

"I" in ipod actually means interim". Remember that around 1985, Steve Jobs got fired as CEO of Apple. Thinking how can you get fired from a company you started, Steve Jobs decided to work on his career on a different company. (He was with NEXT and PIXAR). After more than 10 years he decided to go back to Apple as CEO but Apple had him as interim CEO. iCEO for short. Thinking that this is an insult to him, being an iCEO to a company he founded, he ordered to put the letter "i' on every product, OS, hardware, computer etc that Apple releases. That explains the names of imac, ipad, itunes,iOS etc .
