Is "i" better than "e" a lot of value?
this two year "i" is too strong.
who will win in the future?
"I" has a lot of famous company like google , apple ....
product:igoogle, ipond, iphone, iTunes, icoke, ibm..^^"
this is i can remind of prefix "i" domain.
but i can't remind of prefix "e" domain, someone would share it?
if only can choose an one, which one is you want? i or e?

IBM is actually the initials of International Business Machines.

The "e" prefix came about with the advent of the Internet, and was short for "electronic" as in "e-Mail", "e-Commerce", "e-Business", e-Banking etc.
The correct usage as a prefix would be for the letter to be followed by a hyphen "-".

The "i" affix was originally coined by Apple and was supposedly to signify "Internet".

Yeah right
More like, as with most things from Apple. A lowercase i in a cursive font followed by a Title case word in a block font looked "cool"
irobot.gif thanks go to Isaac Asimov for the inspiration
Apart from that, it turns an average word into a highly brandable name, trademark and logo.

I personally prefer 'e' instead of 'i'. Not that really matters though.

Depends on your market really. For some I would think I is better, for others I think e is better..

eHarmony - Good
iHarmony - NOT

iWhic - Good
eWhic - NOT

e would probably be better.

i Is often associated with apple, and if they make a product related to your domain - they'll find a way to take it away from you (because thats what they do).
