I really was hoping for GPenis.
Someone needs to make some GPenis stickers we can put on our devices to replace the GP2X... :p

Not really all that hard to make your own sticker, Avery adhesive adress lables come in just thr right sizes, whether you want it to be a Gpenis, GPX2 or Horny Animal.
 
Okay this is what I'm hearing from the Korean side:


They were originally planning to get rid of the name 'GP' but then when they opened the contest and got 13 final names to choose from, they found out that they were all a registered product name so they could not use them.

So after much consideration, GPH wanted to stick with GPX2 but again they found out that GPX2 was already taken up as well for some printer.

So they really had no choice but to switch the name a bit and make it GP2X.


Sad story, really.
 
but why would that matter? There is the Gamepark GP32 and the Furano GP32 which is a sonar/gps device. And there are probably other GP32 products that have no relation to Gamepark, so why would it matter if some printing company is using GPX2 and Gamepark would be using GPX2?

It's probably an issue in the Korean Trademark office. As far as I can tell the Furuno GPS isnt Korean and thus no conflict. The 13 finalists might all have Claimed Korean product names.

> ok evolution we all know about evolution in people but it is evolution of gaming that is most exciting today so game play evolution means the evolution of gaming and new horizons of gameplay, game play (e)xcite games should be exciting and it is exciting to play new and different games or even just games we love to play its the buzz its the excitement, global party extreme, everyone engaging in a party atmosphere and making it extreme or enjoyable, global party xcite, is the excitement of going to a party with friends wherever it may be ie global as long as your with your friends having fun you can be anywhere. gp2x (gpxx) (e)xtreeme (e)xcitement is when you find out about a new thing such as a new arcade game and get extremely excited about it, you then speak to all your mates about it and it creates a huge buzz around then you finally get to play the game and enjoy the exteme excitement.
> I HAVE MADE A LOGO BUT MY SOFTWARE KEEPS CRASHING SO AS SOON AS IT LETS ME EXPORT (GPXPORT2 - TO EXPORT IS TO SEND OR MOVE AROUND WITH )THEN I CAN POST ON HERE.

and i dont care if it maybe was a publicity stunt (which i dont think). 3 ppl are getting a free gp2x and everyone of us had the chance to get one :p so i would be happy if the launch more of those publicity stunts ;P

Yes but if it was a publicity stunt (or a way to find out an amount of potential sales) then the name was probably already planned and it just so happened that the winner picked the right name.

If that is the case (which some people here seem to not want to acknowledge the possibilty of) then it's a bit of a con.
