Name Awards Professional Commentary on Company Names, Product Brands and Business Names

Oh no, not another Nexus. One has to wonder.

nexusonelogoThis week Google announced their own new phone, even though they can’t quite clearly elucidate what this has got to do with their core business.

Never mind, what we want to know is if you make a call on a Nexus One, will it be routed via a Cisco Nexus® switch, will it work with the Nexus® measuring equipment and the Nexus® satellite radio hardware, will it use and support Nexus® typefonts, does it use a Nexus® plasma flat screen, does it compute like a Nexus® personal computer and connect to the Nexus® automotive measuring instruments, does it support Nexus® audio/video, run the Nexus® fluid dynamics program, is it based on Nexus® IC technology, can you download Nexus® erotic books from Virgin, and is all this supported by the Nexus® software support package?

Aren’t you glad they added the word one to make it unique? Luckily they didn’t pick 2000, because the Nexus 2000® was an old, old dictation machine. Google must be going corporate. So much for their former uniqueness streak.

All Nexus names used here are registered trademarks of their owners – too many to mention, but only a small sample of those fighting over the same name with the US Patent and Trademark office. Nexus one is not yet an approved or registered trademark.

9 Thoughts on “Oh no, not another Nexus. One has to wonder.

  1. Oh, you could probably conduct the same experiment with most any brand name. But it is funny!

    Also, they’ve made it clear through their Android platform that they want phones to have unrestricted access to search engines (like their core business). Promoting a phone/OS that brings that about may be a pretty good move. Not only will that one phone have open access to the net, but it will push other phones towards it.

    Oh well. Maybe I’m just feeling patriotic for Google given the news about google.ce that came out today.

  2. Sorry for my poor english. I like to keep up with good blogs on this subject. There’s only a few worthwhile ones. Found you on Bing search. Thanks for the post.
