It is. At least their idiocy is working.

Agreed but putting a lower case i in front of everything sounds equally idiotic to me.

Are you serious? They built a brand with that lowercase “i”; iMac, iPod, iPhone. All hits, all have brand recognition. I, like most people, see a product name iProduct and can’t help think that it is either made by Apple Inc or for one of their products. On the other hand other manufacturers do not get branding. While Samsung has been pushing to make “Galaxy” a brand some of their final names are ridiculous. Just read ”Samsung Galaxy S™ ll, Epic™ 4G Touch” vs “Apple iPhone 4S” and tell me which sounds right. The former sounds like a run-on sentence!

You know, I’m getting a sneaking hint you were just talking garbage about Van Damme’s absolute badass post apocalyptic masterpiece film “Cyborg”. But I’ll just pretend you didn’t date talk about such a kilter movie in that way. And if you did, well enjoy DammeIt showing up at your door, doing a full split, then slamming his mighty fist into baby nutsack. True, his movies now are complete hot garbage, but Van Damme he has some seedtime flicks under his belt, Cyborg, Universal Soldier, and Maximum Risk was some sweet ass French goodness. It had that kickass dude from Killing Zoe in it with him, I can’t transfer his French name though. But I think he was also in Queen Margot.

I’m glad I could tell you about this terribly odd thing. I don’t understand it.

I think X is supposed to be the Greek letter Chi. Which would make it closer to the “Droid Keyboard”. Yes, it’s pretty crappy.

Obviously, Verizon had used up their creativity after choosing they made one of the smartest decision in life by picking the name “Droid”.

They tell love the sound of the name so much, just call it “Cyboard” rather than something no one would know how to pronounce!

Ask anyone on the street, most of them will recognize the Droid brand, just like most won’t recognize Android or will call all android phones Droids. Verizon’s Droid marketing was a resounding success and still is, they’ve just diluted it with all the Droid phones that continue to come out on a monthly basis but make no mistake, Verizon sells more Droids than any other phone(s).

So what was wrong with XOOM 2? Simple and easy enough to update the digit and be done!

That’s the thing though. Apple’s simple names become iconic, people will buy it. People buy the phone for the name.

At first it seemed like Verizon learned this with the OG Droid and Droid Eris. A new brand was born and it was hot selling. Then the Droid Incredible became a hot seller. Then – well, Verizon started abusing the name and the Droid name really doesn’t mean much to people as it did when it first came out.

Samsung got it with the Galaxy brand, but it got way out of hand before people could even start to recognize the brand.

Here we go again moto…..

The name RAZR was cool years ago, not so much now. KRZR was just flat out stupid, and this….god help you..this puts you on a whole new level of stupid.
