I say "eye-TALK-ee."

 

The reason is that I pronounce the leading "i" as "eye" in all the Apple product names and their imitations--iMac, iPod, iPad, iTunes, and if they had a product named "iTalk" I'd pronounce it "iTalk."

 

But the trailing -i is more often pronounced like "ee," broccoli, coati, corgi, macaroni, parcheesi, pierogi, stimuli, tympani. Words like Magi, fungi, rabbi, seems much rarer. In a proper name (usually womens') where I am not sure, I'd always say "ee;" it's often a substitute for a trailing -y pronounced as "ee." Andi, Bobbi, Cindi, Lani, Toni...
