RE: Palm Pilot?
Think of it as using the word dude. That term hasn't been used since the mid-nineties, but you still use it.

RE: Palm Pilot?
RE: Palm Pilot?
"PalmPilot" is interesting in that it was actually used for just TWO products in Palm Inc's history (PalmPilot Personal & PalmPilot Pro). There were indeed two Pilot devices (1000 & 5000) and numerous Palm/PalmOne models but somehow, PalmPilot just has "stuck".
I agree with Twizza's comment too...."Treo" has caught on FAIRLY well...even, in places like VZW corporate stores, eclipsing "Palm" much in the way that Mac has eclipsed Apple Computer (ie the brand has leapfrogged the corporate entity in public awareness/identity).
Palm is definitely on the right track with trying to reinforce/emphasize the Palm branding but needs to keep the Treo name in the spotlight as well IMO.

Palm Pilot?
[quote]Due to a trademark infringement lawsuit brought on by the Pilot Pen Corporation, the second generation in 1997 was named PalmPilot. From 1998 on, they were known simply as Palm but "PalmPilot" has entered the vernacular as a synonym for PDAs, regardless of the brand.[/quote] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palm_Pilot
