Why do Apple products start with an "i"?

From the iPod to the iPad, Apple products have begun with an "i" since the iMac was released in 1998.

Steve Jobs explained the use of the letter then. It stands for a few things: Internet, Individual, Instruct, Inform, and Inspire.

"iMac comes from the marriage of the excitement of the Internet with the simplicity of Macintosh," said Jobs.

"'i' also means some other things to us. We are a personal computer company and, although this product is born to network, it also is a beautiful stand-alone product. It's perfect for finding a tremendous amount of information over the Internet, and we hope as you see the product it will inspire us all to make even better products in the future."
