I have a quirky name for my ipod, but not for my current computer. I call the ipod "vinyl pants." It's a newer model with a sleek black coating.

I have one of those small iPod Shuffles and it is gray/silver. I call it Horton, from the Dr. Seuss book. I'm glad to find out I'm not the only one!

My iPod is called ePod, since 'i' am the owner of my iPod and my name starts with an 'e' thus ePod.

Vinyl pants? Horton? ePod? Very nice.

GC, now that I have a black flexible casing for my Blackberry, I guess I'll start calling it "rubber pants." Thanks for the idea! (Of course, I already dread the day I walk back into a restaurant and say, "Did I by any chance leave my rubber pants here?"

That's a cute name for your Blackberry, but don't get lazy and start calling it rubber!
