If you own an iTouch then you are having issues because that is not an Apple product. Apple sells the iPod Touch and people who call it an iTouch either do not know anything about Apple or bought it because they thought the commercial was cute.
iTouch is a generally excepted term for the iPod Touch, your just grasping straws (insert your epic fail here). Google it and see what the top hits are, I guess Google knows nothing about Apple either. Bottom line Apple wants your money as do all companies, why keep supporting old technology (Power PC) push the consumers to the new stuff. A good way to do that is make the old stuff difficult to use.
As for the iTouch... I won't be as harsh as others. If people want to be really picky, then no one should use MBP, PPC, C2D, MB, OS X (with out the version number or Mac in front), Mac instead of Macintosh, etc... I know what you meant.
I find it funny. Like I stated below, it is a generally excepted term, maybe not for the Applezoids who are too perfect for words, but Google iTouch and see what comes up. Some people should not be left alone in a room full of dangerous things.
Wrong- I would never buy that piece of crap-ever. One of the worse designed products ever released in the history of Apple. So you loose -I suggest you take your suggestions somewhere else.
I will never buy the iPod shuffle (or any other apple product for that matter) either. So, my suggestion of NOT buying the new iPod shuffle is a bad suggestion given you think its a poor device? Confusing me a bit here. Knowing how much you complain about apple, I would think my suggestion of NOT buying Apple products would be a good one! I just want to save you misery!

Or just plain slow. My 4-year-old 17" PowerBook G4 wasn't too happy when I upgraded it to Leopard. It was really happiest with Tiger. But then, I'm not all that upset about it. 4 years and counting is a pretty good run for a laptop. Still does iTunes, iPhoto, web and email just fine (just slower).

Funny, I don't hear anyone saying iNano, or iShuffle, so why apply that moniker to the touch and call it okay? I can type White House into google and it may come up with porn. Not a good defense for your position.

I think you need something more interesting to complain about.
While people do just say "nano" or "shuffle", neither of which is the name of the product.
You're absolutley right. My basic point is that people want to complain about their products when they cannot even tell you what it is correctly.
I think people know the proper name of product. Even if they didn't, not knowing the proper name of the product doesn't have much bearing on knowing that it's misbehaving.
Why is it so important to you that people refer to it by its proper name, in an informal discussion? This isn't a Senate inquiry.

It isn't, though I'll admit that I find it at least a little irritating for reasons I can't entirely understand or explain. I realize this is also partially Apple's fault, for creating such baffling product naming conventions.

To me, it's no different than using correct grammer and spelling. I may have the most compelling and complete argument or statement completely validating whatever issue discussed, but if I spell everything wrong, then who is gonna pay attention?

To me, it looks more like you're expecting people to write not just in good grammar and spelling, but in King's English, which I think is closest parallel to expecting people to write out the full name of the product.
I can make iTunes 9 become non-responsive on an XP PC with an iPhone. In most cases, it seems to happen when I'm deleting 20 or more apps from the iPhone in one sync.
I don't know if the same would happen if I used iTunes 9 on our family MBP. I'm sure the experience would be better, but the line for using the MBP is too long (wife, 2 kids, then me).
Since I updated to iTunes 9, occasionally it won't recognize my iPhone 3G. I think it's the initial sync to update the position of the program icons that is failing because either my MacBook Pro or the iPhone isn't getting its USB interface all the way up and configured before iTunes gives up. My solution is to exit out of iTunes, plug in the iPhone, come back in to iTunes after 10 seconds or so, and iTunes then finds the iPhone. But needless to say, I'm not happy about having to stop my music just to sync some of it to my iPhone .

Or you can bring up something that has no bearing on this thread whats so ever, either way no on is paying attention to you. (Again, insert epic fail here). And I typed this on my 27" Mac, not iMac, not Macintosh, Mac. You don't like it too bad, bottom line is Apple is notorious for abandon customers (Power PC) and I am sure this was not a mistake, I'm sure in your perfect, English laden world Apple could never make a mistake so this was intentional. I think I hear Webster calling, they need your advice, we do not.

I'm sure in his house if someone asks for a Philips head screw driver he actually has one made by Philips, if not he corrects them and hands them a cross tip. God forbid some uses generally excepted terms.

I chalk it up to parental abuse.

Your basic point is that you are so bunged up, if someone stuck a lump of coal up your butt out a diamond would pop. That is your basic point.
