Talk:Telefunken

message: According to Bill Buxton's webpage on input devices the first ball mouse was invented at Telefunken. Worthy of inclusion on the webpage? Bill Buxton is quite a big name in human-computer interface design, this is not some random anecdote. 213.101.209.9 (talk) 09:48, 30 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Paragraph about Frank Zappa and his predilection for Neumann/Telefunken mics is trivia for the musician and not germane to this article. But it is important to note that Telefunken distributed Neumann mics for a time. Shadowhillway 21:32, 22 September 2005 (UTC)

message: Okay, who put in "Telefunken is so funny because it sounds rude."? ;c)
I would argue the Zappa quote [from "Crew Slut", on "Joe's Garage"] is, at least in its short form, notable as it's [IMO] the biggest cultural reference to the trademark, even if Zappa's own predilections for German recording equipment is outside the scope of this article. 92.62.2.239 (talk) 13:55, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: A film of this remarkable man's life shows that his Vishay company bought Telefunken (I don't know the date) and gives an important reason why he was keen to do so. While it may possibly be right that the reason should be unguessable, the fact of Vishay ownership (supported by other sources) surely cannot be ignored in this 'history'. 94.70.78.104 (talk) 16:24, 28 July 2011 (UTC)

message: Since Telefunken is effectively defunct, then I've moved it from :Category:Mobile phone manufacturers to :Category:Defunct mobile phone manufacturers. If there is any proof of mobile phones currently manufactured and sold under the Telefunken brand, then the category can be changed back. -Mardus (talk) 08:28, 20 June 2014 (UTC)

message: Telefunken still exists. In fact I just viewed a 40inch full HD flat LED TV on ebay. The website of the company is also online with no indication of a cease to exist state. Article needs an update.Rbaleksandar (talk) 06:48, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: The brand owners of many famous names from radio history have licensed them to all sorts of disreputable manufacturers of cheap tat. Look at the famous British brand Bush or indeed the once mighty Grundig. Branding is largely meaningless in consumer electronics today. --Ef80 (talk) 14:46, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  Telefunken was a company... 

message: The article is still very obviously written by German speakers with English as a second language. This is understandable given the subject matter, and I'm not going to formally tag it, but nevertheless it needs a copyedit by a native English speaker or a native German speaker who is truly bilingual. --Ef80 (talk) 14:46, 31 July 2017 (UTC)
