Yes, but as poets we should perhaps comprehend that this partly
happened because of rhythm (please, no more jokes!): all the products
so far have been 2 syllable, iPod, iMac, iTouch, etc, & so, although
almost everyone was saying ahead of time it would be called something
like iTablet, I suspect it got this monicker because it had that
rhythmic sound....

Swept snow, Li Po,

to the road that hies to office
away from home.
