Brazilians Can Now Buy an "iPhone" Loaded With Android 263
Andy Prough writes "If you happen to be in Brazil and have 599 reals jingling in your pocket ($304 US dollars or £196), you can buy an iPhone — that runs Android. Gradiente Electronica, which registered the 'iPhone' name in Brazil in 2000, has won the right to sell its iPhone Neo One, an Android phone running version 2.3, Gingerbread. Gradiente won the ruling from the Institute of Industrial Property (INPI), despite Apple's argument that Gradiente should lose the right to 'iPhone' because it had not used the name between 2008-2012. Apple retains the right to appeal the case, and Gradiente now has the right to sue Apple for exclusivity in Brazil. If Gradiente wins, the only iPhones sold in Brazil would have a picture of a cute green robot on the box cover."

Opel/Vauxhall and in latin america: Chevrolet.
My mom had a Chevrolet Meriva, while someone from the UK had a Vauxhall Meriva, and someone from europe had an Opel Meriva.
The Vauxhall Meriva is the best one, and I say this objectively as a British citizen.
