If we are going down this road, Microsoft copied HTC, who not only had a product called "One" but also ones called "One S" and "One X"

Ok...I’m no MS fanboy.

But MS OneNote was released right around the same time.

But let’s be serious Google spent millions to brand/launch this, and it’s got to be embarrassing that either: a. None of the yesmen thought to speak up and say hey should we really use a name MS uses for a bunch of their products (One Note, Xbox One, One OS, One Guide); or b. Straight ripped it.

Android One is 4 or 5 years old.

Companies have been naming things with "one" since forever.
