So it would appear that the Commodore Computer brand isn’t entirely dead…

Long Dead PC Company Commodore Just Launched a Smartphone

I have fond memories of the old Commodore 64 computers, though by today’s standards these computers (indeed, all technological products from the 1980’s) are rightfully considered primitive.

Yet during those very early days of technological advances to the PC and gaming market, Commodore stood tall, right there with Atari (who, many forget, also had two home computer models!), Apple, and IBM.

I never owned a Commodore, but I had a friend in the dormitory who did and I recall enjoying using it…while still thinking my Atari 800 computer was better.  Then there was the kid who had the Apple II…

Anyway, nostalgia is good and all, but the one thing to realize regarding Commodore’s phoenix-like resurrection is that the Commodore brand has bounced around quite a bit since its heyday in the 1980’s.  I’m curious to see if this phone manages to get any traction in an industry that appears, at least at the moment, in a death-choke stranglehold between Samsung and Apple.

As with so many other things, we’ll see!
