I personally like simple, kind of like the German auto-makers do it. Each model tells you what the the class and the engine displacement is. Simple. Informative.
So we can have:
Astak M-9.7A (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision A)
Astak M-9.7B (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision B (for the next Mentor 9.7" model))
Astak M-6.0A
Astak ER-6.0
...
If you have different features within the same model line:
Astak M9.7A-WG3 (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision A, Wi-Fi and G3)
Astak M9.7A-W (Astak Mentor 9.7", Revision A, Wi-Fi)
...
So, you keep your branding ("Astak"), as opposed to teaching us a new word every time you have a new model, and having us use such new word, instead of your brand ("Astak.")
Oh, and it makes it easier to search for a particular model on the web.

Dear Sonist:
You have a good head on your shoulders and I appreciate your comments.
I have seen you on many, many threads.
I do agree that people always shorten things down to Pocket PRO or Intrique instead of "Astak". I am not against what you are saying and will try to shorten things but in the case of the press that talk to us... they focus on model name so far. AND... inside our offices and factory they pay no attention to codes... too difficult to quote model numbers as people are going a mile a minute.
We do use model numbers instead of names on our wireless cameras and that has proven exceedingly confusing even to us and moreso to the end users who buy the wireless cameras. Thus, the latest IP camera is known simly as "The Mole". That name everybody instantly can remember.
I am not arguing, and I thank you for the comments!!
