Pi version 2 - name ideas!

[andrum99]

I came up with a cool name for the RasPi version 2. (I am aware this product is a long way off). The name I came up with is "Rhubarb Crumble". I first thought "Apple Crumble" would be good, but then I realised a certain American corporation would have something to say about that.

Thoughts?

Version 2 names?

Strawberry Pi
Seaberry Pi
Snowberry Pi
seem appropriate
Other names that could work are:
Salmonberry Pi
Snakeberry Pi

Then there is fictional names like Snozberry.

If you want to get away from the "pi" thing then that opens up many possibilities

Sassafras Tee
Rpi2

[plugwash]

Personally I'd like to see it called the Pi Master 1024 or maybe Pi Master 2048

[Rangus013]

Nah!!!!! It should have 2gb ram, hdmi and optical fiber outs, ethernet and built in wifi along with 3usb 3.0 ports and should be call the Raspberry Pi Mach 2, stylised as R-π MK2.

[redhawk]

Isn't that called a personal computer??

Raspberry Tau.

While the first took the greek letter for the ratio between the radius of a circle and its circumference, the second is named for the time constant that it takes for engineers to agree on what to call the Raspberry Tau.

Hm, inverting the premise has a certain appeal - the Snozberry Pi.

Ok I'll admit technically a personal computer yes, but think I they used a better processor, had more capable ram and more connections think of the capabilities both newcomers like me and seasoned programmers and designer would be capable of. And how about "blackberry pi" ?

[rpdom]

Ok I'll admit technically a personal computer yes, but think I they used a better processor, had more capable ram and more connections

Like an 8086 with 256KB of RAM, CGA display, 160KB floppy disks?

And how about "blackberry pi" ?

I think someone has already used the name "Blackberry" somewhere... perhaps some other fruit like a tomato? Or a dual-core version might be a pear

[duberry]

Bilberry-pi

Bilberry's grow in the uk and Finland (according to wiki ) , alot like raspbery-pi and linux

Iv picked/eaten them the are tasty , and usually free ( well you must use energy to forage ..) *mmm **drool** bilberrys*
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilberry#PI

Note that in Austria, Finland, Norway, Sweden, Estonia, Latvia and Switzerland, it is an everyman's right to collect bilberries, irrespective of land ownership, with the exception of private gardens and nature reserves.

Snigger. I suppose a quad code would be a PearPearPi.

Greek alphabetic trends might suggest "Raspberry Rho"?

There was a young curate of Kew
Who kept a small cat in a pew.
He taught it to speak alphabetical Greek,
But it never got further than … µ

If you increment both letters (in the style of Ubuntu), then surely it becomes "Strawberry Rho".

Pi++

[Paul Webster]

I'd have thought Pi2 - written Pi-superscript2 - said as Pi Squared by those in the know.

[redhawk]

Pi LT (Lite edition)
Pi SE (standard edition)
Pi KSE (Kid safe edition)
Pi TA
Pi Pro - with quad core ARMv7, 80x86 bridge (to speed up Qemu), 4GB DDR3 RAM, Built-in Wifi abgn, Bluetooth 3.0, RFID, 2 individual USB controllers one for HUB the other for host mode, a proper 16bit DSP full duplex sound card with Line-In, Mic-In capture and a proper on / off switch.
</dream>

Just out of curiosity did the Pi boards (or anything with Broadcom) ever get codenames a bit like Microsoft's Longhorn for Vista and Whistler for XP??

Whilst I like Pi^2 suggested above, that would become unweidy as a formula over time, so yes, how about changing the 'berry'. One of my favourite liqueurs (from Finland) - and probably a suitable name for online reasons - would be ...

Cloudberry Pi!

Ah, as one upgrades from Audi 205 to a BMW 316, then?

@Alison … my own little adventure in Finland actually began with a (real) Cloudberry Pie

[andrum99]

Slightly disheartened nobody went for my crumble idea.

[alexeames]

They're hardly going to change the name of one of the most successful (iconic even) British brands this century. But if they did it would have to be Raspberry Pii (the ii denoting ii). But that strategy breaks down at 4 when you get Piv.

Best stick with a winner and add rev numbers to it.

Yeah like the BBC master!

[DougieLawson]

No. I have a deep hatred of all folks who (don't) own their German car. Company car drivers seem to be the least cyclist friendly of all the motorists.

[Niall101]

Well, following its ancestral heritage, the Pi has evolved from a Model A to a Model B.

So - the 'fruit' has to stay the same (the 'Acorn' stayed the same, so the 'Raspberry' should too), and so the next model that comes down the production line has to be the Raspberry Pi 'Master'.

But, when we get to the 'Acorn Archimedes' level - would we consider the 'Pi Thagoras' ?

And, before then, why can't we have the '6502 Co-processor' ?

Cheers,
Niall

jdb,

Raspberry Tau.

You are right, but for the wrong reasons. See below:

While the first took the greek letter for the ratio between the radius of a circle and its circumference,...

No. It is not. The number π is a mathematical constant that is the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter

I'm surprised that nobody picked you up on that earlier. Shows what an educated bunch we are:)

Now. As it happens the ratio of a circles circumference to it's radius is known as Tau,

τ = 6.283185307179586…

As you see. τ = 2π

So clearly any second generation Pi should be called the Tau

I'm missing something. Who said there was ever going to be a new Pi ?

I'd prefer ChuckBerry Pi.
