If you are referring to Apple's products such as iPod, iPhone, iMac, iPhoto, etc. Than I can answer that.  back in 1997-98 when the iMac was first introduced it stood for internet as in internetMac.  Apple's whole marketing scheme for the first iMac was how easy it was to setup and get connected to the internet compared to windows machines.  The iMac became so popular that it saved Apple from bankruptcy and the name kind of stuck and Apple began using the "i" naming scheme for most of their consumer products.
