Spring and early summer tends to be bit lackluster in the technology department. Consumers and technology pundits alike tend to have little to inspire them in the second quarter. Everyone is out enjoying their boats and barbeques since there is little to keep them indoors at this time of the year. Other than rehash all the cool stuff we are waiting for in the coming months, let’s review some of the crap from this year so far. Okay, so I don’t have enough room to go over all of the crap instead I’ll concentrate on some of the items that were underwhelming or should’ve been better than it turned out.

-Unappealing name change- Nintendo Wii

There are some products that are in desperate need of a name change. Touareg The next-gen console from Ninetendo wasn’t one of them. Originally known as the Revolution and only recently changed to the Wii, gives us one of the worst changes in a product. Revolution is a far superior name to the Wii (pronounced Weeeeee). It’s not a good idea to change a name to something most people aren’t certain how to even pronounce, let alone know what it means.

Enter ‘Worst product names’ into Google and you’ll find a plethora of links naming the Wii as the worst name change.
