After visiting Apple's site and seeing most products/services are called Ithis or Ithat.
They might not think to kindly of someone else using a name that can be confused with their products.
Curls in the squat rack !?!?!

Apple does not have exclusive rights to the "I" labeling.  Multiple companies came out with different branding during the Internet bubble to cash in on the craze.

Check out:

www.ivillage.com

The Amex has I-Shares trading on various securities. 

www.amex.com (check under the Exchange Traded Funds)

There are others that have come and gone while some still remain.  Apple may be the most successful with the "I" label but that does not mean that anyone else can't use it.

also note iRiver.  Yeah, alot of companies use the "i" in front.  Not an apple specific thing.
