Had they called it “iDrive”, or summat, the rip-off would have been obvious even though Apple has no such named product. Little accessory makers can get away with such naming because a) “Cheap-Ass iAccessories” isn’t a household name and b) their product probably has something to do with Apple stuff.

For a company like Google, I find it a bit embarrassing.



Who ripped off whom?

The "i" in all of Apple's names stands for Internet in 1990s nomenclature.

Similarly the word "one" predates any usage by MS.
