I was very intregued by your last words being an new adition to the EOS family later down the line.
Just wondering weather anything can be shead about it or is it all hush hush at the moment?

  • Hi

    At Plasa last year I was told it would be called GEO and slot into the range between EOS and ION.

    No idea if this is true or not !

    Cheers

  • I hope it won't be called a GEO- that would mean all 4 products in the series share the names of automobiles or vehicles sold in the US:

    Volkswagen EOS, Saturn ION, Honda ELEMENT, Chevrolet GEO

    As long as it's not named the PINTO...

    I'm just sayin...

  • So I've never seen a thread regarding the naming of the consoles in this family..... But my thoughts.

    Element - Elements are the building blocks of all else. So the element console is the base of the family. It has a little bit of everything in it, but but they are not all put together so you don't get all the features. 

    Ion - Start combining Elements, steal an atom to give it a charge and you get Ions. More complex more features. 

    Eos - In Greek mythology Eos opens the gates of heaven, which lets Apollo ride across the sky. Apollo is the god of light, so the Eos is what makes light available to all. No limits. Also no real Geoscience tie in that I can see...

    So if we go with the Geo as in Geology, the earths make up, it is a combinations of lots and lots of Ions, but it still isn't the full deal.

    Maybe if there is a console above the Eos it could be called the Forty-Two?

    Obviously I've had too much time on my hands today.
