The
Xiaomi Android smartphone, with MiUi
launched yesterday in Beijing, but just
what is that
name all about?
Foxconn should be no stranger to anyone with even a passing interest in
gadgets and
tech, but for those who don’t know, Foxconn is the company responsible for making iPhone’s, iPads, Playstations and
Dell computers. They are also infamous for the
suicide clusters which occurred last year at their Shenzhen based
factories!
Yesterday, however was a time for celebration for the Taiwanese company as they
launched their
new dual core Android smartphone, Xiaomi!

So what does Xiaomi mean? Well ‘Xiao’ is small and the word ‘Mi’ means rice, so together the name would be ‘Small Rice’, however ‘Xiaomi’ also happens to mean ‘Little Mistress’!
So what in the world are Foxconn implying about their new phone?!
Answers on postcard please....
Thanks to Ash for the tip!
