Kodak and Commodore are zombie brands. People will still recognize their names and (arguably) that might add to the (perception of) value, so there's money in it. But I have to say that I don't like the namespace pollution: When I google for Commdore PET, I expect to see results about the computer, not the phone. Same goes for Kodak and the cameras.
So the world is going to be divided in two: Those who know the old Commodore brand and would like to preserve what it stood for, and those who don't care. Unfortunately the people who buy cheap Chinese cellphones are probably all in the latter category. Most unfortunate.
I guess the good news is that often, the public just doesn't go for it. Remember those Commodore PC's that came out a few years ago? Yeah, didn't think so.
