Rename PDA-247. Win a £400 smartphone!

14 November 2009 by Shaun 114 Comments

renameIt’s time for PDA-247 to change again. I understand that the name has changed a few times over the years (Clie World, Clie Planet, Palm247, PDANews24…), but the term ‘PDA’ is simply not descriptive anymore and does not fit in with the modern world of smartphones.

I am looking for a new name for the site, but cannot come up with anything no matter how hard I try so I figured that one of you guys could help me out. All you have to do is reply to this thread with your idea for a name and the winner will take home a smartphone up to the value of £400 from www.clove.co.uk.

It’s that simple. The competition will run until 30th November and the winner will be announced on 1st December 2009.

Note: Submissions of website names already active cannot be considered.

    I think it’s obvious that it needs 247 in it, so:

    SmartPhone-247
    Handheld-247
    Mobile-247

    So:

    Sorry boomer… just missed your suggestion (and sorry to those if I probably repeat the same name. Of course you are the winners).

    Here goes my list (all checked and free):

    handhelds247.com
    i24-7.mobi
    mobilus247.com
    thebestsiteintheworld247.com ;)

    … what about using a .mobi extension?
    … and if 247 can do it, try -247, 24-7…

    A suggestion: since there will be a few answers before the deadline, why not put this post on a separate section always a t hand?

    PDA stands for personal digital assistant. How about another acronym – CORE?
    C for communication; O for organization; R for recording; E for entertainment. That’s what these devices do. If you want, you could add a D for digital and have DECOR or a D for device and have CORED. You could keep the 247 for continuity.

    Use the .net domain (not .com) because it’s more ‘tech savvy’, according to the marketing types anyway.
