[m]ini iPod. Catchy? Start using it and maybe we can change the face of the internet!

I've been looking around and realized that there needs to be a simple, catchy way of differentiating the iPod and the iPod mini. iPodm didn't roll off the tounge the way miPod does. miPod [my iPod] also referrs to the very personal relationship users have with their iPods, many considering their dear mini or regular iPod an extension of themselves so I think it works very well.

So... miPod. Use it when you're talking about your mini iPod!

Hours and hours, actually. I spent the night tossing and turning in tortured sleep.

Lol, no. It came to me suddenly while I was making a post.

With this new ruling, will we be banned if we use "iPod mini" any longer? Better yet, maybe that mods can add that to the filter so it will show up as "iPod ****"...

Seeing as Apple uses the full name of "iPod mini" with the word "mini" coming after as a suffix, I think your abbrevation would make more sense as "iPodm" instead... Just a thought.
