Naming Future Generation Jollas
asked 2014-11-05 18:38:43 +0200
This is a matter that has for some unknown reason bothered me a good while. It is naming software and hardware. My question for future Jolla devices is this:
Since the whole idea about Jolla is being unlike, shouldn't the name also resemble that?
Instead of naming next Jolla a "Jolla 2" or something similar it should just stay Jolla. I'd like to compare this to cars. Let's say you want to get a Camaro. You have a bunch of different looking Camaros. They are advertised as Camaros but on paper they are Camaro 1957, Camaro 1980 etc. all the way to current day Camaro 2014 is it now?
Same applies to vintage guitars. Anyone into the topic knows differences spec-wise between a '69 and a '72 Fender Stratocaster. For others, they are just discrete numbers or years that identify the model. However, I also like Sailfish OS's codenaming convention with Finnish lakes. I'll upvote still, since I prefer something unlike the utterly dull "Jolla 2" or "J2".

One option is to have a name and a year...

They are the same car with a different setup. Still they are sold as [place a year] Volvo C30(?) R. Format: [Year] Jolla [Model] = 2015 Jolla GTI ;)

Could the theme be small boats?
