The Motorola “Devour”: Great Function, Crappy Name
Motorola & Verizon are releasing a brand new Android phone, which is always welcome news. It’s got a snazzy new Android-variant built in called “Motoblur,” which includes a “happenings” widget that’ll immediately alert you to new messages/updates on social networking sites like Facebook, Twitter and MySpace (for the eight people still using MySpace). It shoves these updates, as well as your texts and emails, into a “universal inbox,” which is a great time saving concept.
It also comes with a preinstalled 8GB MicroSD card, preloaded apps for Gmail, Google Talk, YouTube, Google Search, and Google Maps and a GPS locator built in so you can find your lost phone (or wipe it remotely).
Sounds like a great phone, right? Yeah, except it’s called the “Devour.” What, was the Motorola “Consume” already taken? Will the next model be the Motorola “Stuff Your Face?” C’mon, Motorola, get your head in the game! What paranoid about her weight 13 year old girl’s gonna wanna walk around with a phone called the “Devour?” I’ll tell you which one – an unpopular one.
Get it together, Motorola!
