domain iDomains

In the past we've seen domains beginning with "e" sell quite high (ex: eWeb.com, eGift.com, eBaby.com, etc) Now that Apple has released many products beginning with "i" (iPod, iLife, iDVD, etc - they say "i" stands for independent/internet) Do you guys feel domains beginning with "i" will be successful in the future?

Yes, general consensus seems to be that an "i" or "e" prefix does not significantly affect value. I differ somewhat from this view and count an i/e as an additional word. However, in general, if it's valuable without an i or e, then it's valuable with one.

Here's some recent "i" sales to give you an idea:
