How do you spell iPod?

One thing I've noticed in reading articles and in people's writing, is that they often misspell iPod.

I don't think many people do this intentionally. They simply forget the manner in which it is capitalized. I've seen IPODs and Ipods and ipods, with perhaps the middle one being what I dislike the most. It simply displays laziness.

I know it's not a big deal, but it's one of those things I shake my head at in wonder. I just care about those details. Apple was very intentional about capitalizing the "P" and not the "i." Do some think it is a mistake? Do they just not care?

It's like spelling the name Sara with an "h." I've known many Sarahs who get very upset when you spell their name Sara. Would you spell ghost without the silent "h" simply because you didn't hear it?

No, iPod is spelled that way for a reason, and even if you don't care for the reason or can't find the reason, it's the way it is spelled. So, let's start spelling it correctly, and save one guy a whole bunch of frustration.
