   I suppose it was only a matter of time until the culinary and technology worlds collided, but iPone? Really? I was expecting something more like iSushi or iCremeBrulee to come before iPone.

   Where the fail is located is not a fail. It’s a Philips speaker system for an IPOD.

   If I’m missing the fail please point it out.

   Walmart is, by definition, always a FAIL in and of itself.

   Metalnoir, I like the idea of iSushi.

   Eh…

   It’s a typo. Not only that, it’s a typo of a recently-minted proper noun that in no way fits into the English language.

   Although “iPone” is funny, I don’t think it qualifies as an English fail. It’s hard to look down on people for misspelling made-up quasi-words.

     I disagree. What’s funny about it is that “pone” is actually a word in the English language (as is the word “phone”). Spell-check won’t catch it (if they even bothered, that is), so they’d need to rely on old-fashioned proofreadng which is only effective if the proofreader has some mastery of the language.

       What spell-check are you using that would not flag “iPone”? Your word processor must have a sense of humor.

       It’s true that spell-check wouldn’t catch “pone” versus “phone,” but it WOULD flag either “iPhone” (except for the preemptive text ON the iPhone, which makes sure that you spell it “correctly”) or “iPone.”

       I understand why it’s funny, but your argument has no merit.

         Additionally, this makes no sense:

         “Spell-check won’t catch it (if they even bothered, that is). . .”

         because modern word processors have auto-spell-check. The user need only type a word that is not in the dictionary to be told that it’s misspelled.

    PONE = powerfully own.

    Nope, still nonsense.
