Your argument is way off. It's not like Engadget was suggesting the name be different across each mobile operating system. In other words, if Engadget had said Firefox should have a different name for the Symbian version than the Windows Mobile version, your statement would be appropriate. Cross-platform web browsers usually have a different name for handset versions. Opera has "Opera Mobile" and "Opera Mini". Internet Explorer has "Internet Explorer Mobile". Sorry, but I think I responded mostly because I hate the snarky "slow news day?" comments people leave when they don't like a certain post. I think most people were expecting a different name for the mobile version, so this is newsworthy. Not groundbreaking, but what ever is on Engadgetmobile? It's a freakin' phone blog. And if you want to criticize tell it to Phonearena since they're the ones who broke the story in the first place.
