It's an Important Distinction
Don't call it a Kindle.
"Hey cool tablet, man. is that one of those k-"
"NO."
"Huh?"
"It's not a Kindle. It's a Polaroid 7" Android Tablet."
"Okay. Sorry. I didn't realize it was such a big dea-"
"Well it IS. To ME. It's a tablet with a 7" capacitive multi-touch display, Wi-Fi, 4GB internal memory, and a microSDHC card slot to expand it up to 32GB. I can read books, surf the web, and watch movies on it. But it's NOT a Kindle."
"Okay, pal. Relax. What's the deal, anyway?"
"Look, when you own some Polaroid stock you realize how important it is to distinguish the name."
