I was at MacWorld this January, and was wondering what the Chinese for "iPod" is. It seems like Apple just uses "iPod" in Roman characters.
But I'll at least mention that "Apple" the company is 苹果 (píngguǒ). Pretty straightforward, it's just "apple" the fruit. Like Microsoft, they used a translation of the meaning.
I've been studying Chinese only a few years, I'm certainly not fluent. I've been a software developer, manager and general fan of technology for a long time. High tech has its own vocabulary which changes quickly. This is especially true in Chinese at this time. I started this blog to help me learn, remember and discuss Chinese technology terms; both those new to me and those new to the world in general. Constructive feedback, especially from native speakers, is always welcome.
