When's the last time a code name was also used for the retail product? I can't remember that ever happening.
Macintosh Newton Jaguar Panther Tiger
There are probably others, but Apple has a long history of this.

There's a company in the movie server business already called Kaleidescape, and they make the coolest DVD server that costs more than your SUV. They'll no doubt defend their name if this thing hits the street as a "Kaleidoscope."

Apple's been doing it since OS X 10.1, I believe. Jaguar. Panther and Tiger have stuck as well.
How about the Xbox?

How about the Xbox? That name was in wide circulation way before any details surrounding the actual hardware were known, and eventually Microsoft just decided to use the codename.
