  Thoughtout ordered to stop using iPed name
    Had interview with Mike
    Initial names, iFoot and iPedistal. iFoot not best sounding iPedistal taken and became iPed.
    iPed was never intended as a derivative or modification of iPod
    From Apple's guidelines

      Third parties cannot use a variation, phonetic equivalent, foreign language equivalent, takeoff, or abbreviation of an Apple trademark for any purpose. For example:

      Not acceptable: Appletree Jackintosh Apple Cart

    Apple needs to apply rules the same for everyone. There are tons of derivatives of the "i" and "Pod" names.
      Podio, PodFreq, 4G Pod Shield, iBod, iVod
    Trying to work with Apple on a compromise. Has a lot invested in the iPed 2 brand.
