Here in Brazil they usually call everything just "mp3", and recently street vendors decided it would be nice idea to keep increasing the number whenever the gadget they sell does somthing new. "Mp4", for instance, stands for video players. "Mp5" is both an mp3 player, a video player, and happens to take pictures as well.

I think the newest model is an "mp12", and I hope it's got a built-in coffee machine

Yeah, I think it's a Brazilian thing, though. In case you're curious, here's what they look like:

Mp15's for sale on MercadoLivre (that's our eBay)

Here are some mp12's

And some Mp11's too!

...

In case you're curious, this is where this nonsense started: the good old mp3/mp4/mp5 players

What, they should say "listen to this on your Ipod or Zen or Zune or Insignia or Pearl or Opal Or Jet or..."?

Everyone knows what you mean when you say Ipod. It's like how some parts of the country call soda "Coke". People know what you mean.

Wouldn't it piss you off if everyone referred to their car as a 'Mercedes' or a 'CLK Kompressor' rather than just saying 'my car'?

Calling an mp3 player an 'Apple' or an 'iPod' is no different, unless of course the item is an iPoo.

I hear what you're saying, and of course you've got a point. It is just a brand, and for all I know there are better mp3 players out there. I guess I just see it as they dominated the market so early on that they kind of won out on the name in my eyes.

It's like the term "I could care less". Technically it's not right, and I notice it when people say it, but I know what they mean, and meaning is what is really important in my eyes. I understand if others see it differently though.

calling all mp3 players an ipod is just proof of superior marketing skills on ipod's behalf.

notice everyone calls adhesive bandages "bandaids". bandaid is just the one type of name brand for adhesive bandages. same shit.
