MyPodder may be a much closer question. Whereas it may relate to a podcasting service, the term itself, MyPodder, sounds pretty close to Ipod. Even if Apple is were not trying to protect "podcast" as a mark, they could arguably have a beef with MyPodder for a trademark claim or something along the same lines like dilution.
