Usability in names

When you take a close look at some Apple products, you’ll notice that they normally don’t use cryptic names for their products. For example: Macbook, iPod, iLife. Their product names are made out of real words.

When we look at some other products, like my recently purchased Samsung N310 0r the Nokia N72 mobile phone, it will become clear that Apple names are much more recognizable for people.

Conclusion: product names which are made out of real words, make life easier!
