kan anyone kontribute any further 'fruity' brand names to the ones below:

Apple, Orange, Blackberry

is it just koincidence that names of fruits are chosen for technologikal brands?

I also wondered about the kar brand mercedes, which supposedly is German, however the word Mercedes sounds distinktly spanish or at least un-german to me.

many thanks in advance for any kontributions.

I thought that the auto name Mercedes was from the name of a founder's daughter, but I could easily be wrong.
