Well part of the thing is that they AREN'T words. They are products and all products have their own name and we can't "translate" them. Only the company can assign it a name and even then it's not a translation.

the post.... looks so....

ALL trademarks could be translated, and it's just a business decision, not a linguistic one.

While "iPod" can't be written in Chinese character, "Mac" can be. Ask Steve Jobs why.
