I think the iPod name was brilliant because it can be anything. Obviously, it was touted as a music player but now we have movies, tv shows, music videos, workout programs, audiobooks, and so much more.

I also think the iMac is an appropriate name for the machine since the main focus still revolves around the internet. We are just used to the internet now so we don't notice. But most of the software installed on the iMac needs access to the internet in some form or another.

If they do make an iPhone or MacPhone I want it to be revolutionary but not forget its primary purpose: to call people and talk to them. I think a lot of phones out there do too much by trying to be a camera, mp3 player, instant messenger..etc. Some of these features are great but as we saw in the iTunes Phone it is not a solution. Why did the iPod succeed? Because it did one thing and it did it well. Then Apple moved on to adding extra features. Does it need Mac OS X? Probably not. The iPod has its own operating system that works fine with Mac OS X. As long as I can take it out of my pocket and it 'just works' I am happy.
