I can understand Spinn, but wtf is iAmoled? Dicple?
The best I can guess is that iAmoled is a play on amole, which apparently is a soap substitute made from parts of a yucca or agave plant.
Marketing discussion: "What's a universal demographic we can tap into?" "Well, everyone uses soap" "I like where you're going, Stan, but our product is more alternative, you know, fucking edgy." "How about amole!" "Dammit Stan, I don't know how you do it! Genius!" ...and SCENE.
And dicple? Is this the first in a series of 12 players designed to follow the innovations of the 'Jesusphone'?
Hell, I don't even know how to pronounce that, unless there's an assumed 'o' four letters in.. but I'm above that..
The name dicple is a merger of the words "dictionary" and "player" as it is an electronic dictionary with media capabilities. My friends like to pronounce it closer to "dickball" for their own amusement.
AMOLED is a display technologoy featured in a few iriver products.. the i is just trendy.. but sure, it's all about soap *shifty eyes*
Also, its not even called the iAMOLED, the device is simply part of Samsungs (developers of the amoled displays used by iriver) "iAMOLED campaign". The device is really called the iriver p20 (from memory).. Get it right, Nilay Patel...
