(keitai-l) Re: NTT DoCoMo to recall newly launched SH505i mobile phone

Just to continue the sarcasm:

    i-APRI

translates into katakana (Japanglish) as

AI - AH POO RE

which can then be re translated into Japanese as

"i" "-" apuri  (The i remains in romaji .. otherwise it would be ai)

which then should have been translated into English as
i-appli

   So i-APRI and i-appli look the same to a Japanese reader,
but not to us poor germanic language speakers who think of
L and R as different.
