As for why I think the iPlayer sounds a bit odd: not so much because of the fact it reminds of a Mac product (partly), it's just... strange?
There's no BBCi anymore, "i" doesn't mean anything these days
But it’s a highly recognisable and well-known brand, so for most people, that’s irrelevant. No-one really considers the origins of a name once they’re used to it. It’s like Jazz FM not being on FM, the Radio Times primarily being a TV listings magazine, and Carphone Warehouse not selling carphones. It just doesn’t matter once a brand is known and established.
