Amaya Toman Ua ʻae ka US Patent and Trademark Office i ka noi a Apple ma mua o kēia mahina e hoʻopaʻa inoa "iPod touch," e hoʻonui ana i ka wehewehe e hoʻokomo i "kahi paʻa lima no ka pāʻani ʻana i nā pāʻani uila; ʻoluʻolu pāʻani paʻa lima.” ʻO ka wehewehe ʻana i hōʻike ʻia e hōʻike ana paha e lawelawe ʻia ka hanauna hou o ka mea pāʻani e like me ka console pāʻani lima.
Mai ka makahiki 2008, ua hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻo Apple i ka inoa iPod touch ma lalo o kahi laikini honua me kēia wehewehe ʻana:
Hiki ke hoʻopaʻa ʻia, hoʻonohonoho, hoʻoili, hoʻoponopono a nānā ʻana i nā kikokikona, nā ʻikepili, nā leo a me nā faila wikiō ma nā mea uila uila uila a paʻa lima.
Ma ke ʻano o ka ʻae ʻana i ka kikoʻī hou no kāna hōʻailona, ua hāʻawi ʻo Apple i ka mana kūpono me kahi kiʻi o kāna pūnaewele. Hōʻike ia i kahi iPod touch, ma lalo o ka ʻaoʻao āu e ʻike ai he ʻāpana "Gaming". ʻO nā pua ʻulaʻula ma ke kiʻi kiʻi e kuhikuhi i nā huaʻōlelo "iPod touch" a me "Buy".
I ka nānā mua ʻana, ʻaʻole kēia he hana hou - ua hiki ke pāʻani i nā pāʻani ma ka iPod touch mai ka hoʻomaka ʻana. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻē aʻe, pono e loaʻa iā Apple kekahi kumu e makemake ai e hoʻolauna i kāna mea pāʻani i ke kahua o nā ʻoliʻoli pāʻani. He hana pale wale ia e pili ana i ka hoʻokūkū, akā hiki nō hoʻi ke hana maoli nei ka hui ma ka ʻehiku o ka hanauna iPod touch.
E hōʻike ʻia ka noi a Apple i ka poʻe kūʻē i ka lā 19 Pepeluali i kēia makahiki. Inā ʻaʻohe kumu kūʻē o ka ʻaoʻao ʻekolu, e ʻae ʻia i loko o hoʻokahi makahiki.
