Naming a product is difficult

Just read an article that listed a number of things that tablet/slate/pad producers need to do in order to compete with Apple’s iPad. Well, one thing it mentioned was “don’t call it the DiscoSlate 3000”.

Well, obviously smartphone makers are smarter than most MP3 player makers. They have not followed the traditional naming scheme but adopted the more Apple-like scheme. Although I have noticed that it helps, but apparently they have not learned enough. Besides the names of “Android”, “Droid”, “Blackberry” and “Palm”, the other names are really helping much.

Here is an idea. HTC Dream Sapphire Hero Click Bravo Glacier Legend Incredible Espresso Buzz Liberty Supersonic Ace Desire HD7 HD2 Mozart (!??!) EVO…. LG chocolate revolution blablabla

I do not think anyone are able to remember all these names, or would be interested in finding out all the differences between these phones.

Yes, that is my point.
