Might be because marketing surveys said not to. Or maybe because it
doesn't appear to have a Tuner in it so why make the same mistake the
Telecomunications Industry did by calling it something it is not (Cell
Phone was the worse name possible for a device that is a full duplex
transceiver that can only access POTS {Plain Old Telephone Service} by
connecting with a base station tower). From what I have been able to
read about the Boom, it is not a Radio and has no tuner. Can it stream
music from the Internet, it appears it can, but again this in not being
a Radio.
Maybe it was a description of this new product. "Hey this Sqeezebox
actually makes sound on its own!" then Chef Emeril Legasse said, "Boom"
instead of "Bam"!
And as a parting thought, do we even know if that is the "Official"
name of an unreleased future product. Remember the Jive?
