Line 32:
* iBuzz Vibrator, although it's been discontinued. Though apparently there's a two-vibrator version available now, and a Vibro Pod Digital Music Simulator... hmmmm. Wonder how many other versions are out there?
** The iBuzz has been renamed to the OhMyBod.
* iRobot (the makers of the Roomba) chose their name back in the mid 90s, long before this trope really got going. The name is of course a pun on the [[Isaac Asimov]] book ''[[I, Robot (literature)|I, Robot]]''.
** The movie ''[[I, Robot (film)|I Robot]]'' with Will Smith featured a lower-case 'i' in its title in the movie poster, suggesting the iMac trope. The fact that Sonny and the other robots are composed of chrome metal and semi-translucent plastics and resemble walking Apple iMacs is not coincidental.
* TrekStor makes the i.Beat line of [[MP3]] players. They caused a minor controversy when they brought out a black model—and [[What an Idiot!|named it the i.Beat Blaxx]].
Line 44:
* iMeem, before [[Myspace]] bought it.
* This troper's college replaced the old IR multiple-choice remotes used in a few classes with snazzy new ones that use RF, which means there's no more having to point the remote at a couple of receivers. They're suspiciously Apple-white and called iClickers, even though they don't have anything to do with internet connectivity. They're fine for what they are, but the name is just irksome.

* Introducing, the new KFC [http://www.kfc.com/itwist iTwist!]
* There's a New England-based party supply store named iParty.
Line 75:
* When ''[[Top Gear]]'' made an electric car, Jeremy Clarkson insisted on putting an 'i' in the name. It was eventually christened the Hammerhead Eagle i-Thrust.
* ''Lock Legion: Everyone Dies'' has the iHugeStereo.
* One ''[[Attack of the Show!]]'' sketch had Apple buying a state and founding their own country, <s> Idaho</s> iDaho.
* In [[Ace Attorney Investigations]], there is an airline called "iFly". [[Deadpan Snarker]] Edgeworth promptly comments on how troubling the overuse of this trope is in his [[Inner Monologue]].
* ''[[My Immortal]]'' has Vampire being described as wearing iShadow at one point.
* ''[[Retail]]'' made fun of iThings creeping into everything. [http://www.retailcomic.com/?p=4462 These must be iSweaters].
* One of the commercials in the ''[[
* Back in the late 1970s when "z" was the cool letter, Apple's Steve "The Woz" Wozniak distributed fake ads at the First West Coast Computer Faire for Altair's upcoming "Zaltair 8080" computer, featuring the new bazic programming language, verZatility I/O, and perZonality customization.
