Truly incredible.

You paid people how much money to pick a name that is going to get thrown out in the next 12 months as everyone keeps thinking you said Thunderbird.

Or that they are talking about the thunderbolt cable from Apple: https://apple.fandom.com/wiki/Thunderbolt

A truly poor name choice.

Not just relegated to Apple. That’s just the trade name for the Thunderbolt interface used on any of the “one cable to connect your dock to your laptop” devices. It all uses Thunderbolt 3, 4, or 5 these days and is on USB-C. I’ve got a Dell dock that is specifically a thunderbolt dock.

I thought they said Thunderbird.

It wasn't until I saw your comment that I realized they didn't re-use the name of their email client.

Same. This is epically bad branding.

What happened? Did Mozilla hire those geniuses at Sony Mobile to name its products?
