Come to think of it "Apples and Pairs" is pro'ly the correct word coupling used for stairs, it was just a wild guess on my part anyway.
Yes, "Going up the apples and pears" would mean going up the stairs.

There is a song by The Monkees which mentions "apples, peaches, bananas and pears" (in fact, that is its title) - maybe someone in the Handheld UI team is a Monkees fan, and peaches refer to Google?

Or maybe it is just a place holder!

Why the culture of secrecy? Why has the page been deleted? Come on... This is getting ridiculous.

Yep getting the same "Article deleted".

Maybe the Apples and Bananas was meant as a dig at the rivals. Not sure where the Bananas would come in, but I'm working on it.

Sorry guys, but there weren't any Images of the UI. Just a description of what it would look like. But anyway, why delete a description?

If you Google for cache:http://wiki.meego.com/BananasandPears you will find the Google cached version. Although watch out, as Google may change their cache to the deleted version soon.
