The reason for iProducts?

When Steve Jobs returned to Apple 1997 he got the title of interim CEO, that is iCEO and 1998 we saw the first iMac later iBook, iPod, iPhone, iPad.

This might not be a surprise for people that followed Apple at that time, but for me it was an eye opener.

Were all apple products with an i in front of them Steve Jobs personal ideas? It would certainly be poetic in some cosmic kind of way.

This would mean that Apple will not launch any more products with an i in front of the name, except for maybe some vision Steve did't have time launch before he left us.


EDIT: I have been reading Steve Jobs: The Exclusive Biography, and apparently I was wrong about the i for iProducts, but it did seem plausible.
