You are likely familiar with popular names like the Samsung Galaxy S4, HTC One or Nexus 7 but what about the Piranha Business Tab 10.1 Zeus White! Now trying saying that quickly ten times.</p> <p>Here is a run down of the ten weirdest names given to an Android device:</p> <p><strong>10) HTC Supersonic</strong> – At least HTC has chosen real words here (unlike some of the other entries later) but really do you want a phone that travels faster than the speed of sound!</p> <p><strong>9) HTC Lexikon</strong> – Another entry from HTC this time with a misspelling of the word Lexicon, I hope the built-in spell checker is better. To be fair to HTC this phone did get renamed to the HTC Merge, I guess after someone spotted the spelling mistake!</p> <p><strong>8) Exagerate XZPAD700</strong> – Talking of spelling mistakes, that isn’t how you spell exaggerate and that serial number is a mouthful. If it was the E Z PAD 700 I might understand… Trying telling your friends you got the latest XZPAD700 and see what they say!</p> <p><strong>7) R09 Crystal Apples</strong> – Most phones or tablets like to put model numbers at the end, apparently not so for the Crystal Apples!</p> <p><strong>6) Pentagram Eon Prime 2</strong> – Just missing the top five, this seven inch tablet might appeal to those who walk near the dark side!</p> <p>And here is the top five:</p> <p><strong>5) Piranha Business Tab 10.1 Zeus White</strong> – Is it a predator, a business gadget or a Greek god… Could it be all three! This one makes the top five just because it is absolute overkill… But again at least they didn’t call it the ‘Man-eating Shark Business Tab 10.1 available in Heavenly White.’</p> <p><strong>4) TurboPad 1000</strong> – This is either a bad vacuum cleaner from the 1980′s or else someone needs to look for another job.</p> <p><strong>3) Unusual Vortex Dual</strong> – Like something from the Twilight Zone, this pad will suck you into another dimension. Try going into your local retailer and asking if they stock one of these!</p> <p><strong>2) Wiko Cink Peax</strong> – Any clues anyone? A play on words in French maybe?</p> <p><strong>1) To be filled by O.E.M.</strong> – My absolute favorite. The tablet maker had one job to do, pick a product name and they couldn’t even do that. Reminds me of Abbott and Costello: “Now, on the St. Louis team we have Who’s on first, What’s on second, I Don’t Know is on third…”</p> <p>Do you know of any strangely named Android devices, please share them by leaving a comment below.</p>
