One thing they definitely should copy off Apple is a
relatively simple naming scheme, where one generation of
product can be told apart from another by the name and
number.
Galaxy tabs, players, tabs of different sizes (and don't
even get started on the various international phone names)
are all named in such a way as you don't know what
generation of product you're buying (or which generation of
product has which technology), and it's impossible to know
how things compare without looking them up. I completely
hate their product naming strategy, it's like they copied it
from Intel, AMD or nVidia (who also need a kick upside the
head.
Sometimes they release a new product with a "2" suffix, but
it basically has the same technology. Sometimes they put
"advance" on there. Products within the same range but of
different generations, sizes and types are a confusing mess.
There's no consistency, and it's stupid.
Sorry, inane rant over.
Actually Apple have stopped the sensible naming scheme now,
but no doubt it's patented up to the eyeballs. "Method and
system for naming device generations with increasing numeric
value." It's probably filed somewhere.
