Why did they even title it "Bananas and Pears"? Will the over-all UX be similar to holding and looking at Bananas and Pears? Weird, but I'm still excited for it.

Gr8 find Reggie.
IMO the UI seems to be a continuation of Maemo with some improvements (like Portrait mode support, Quick Launcher etc). Eager to see some screenshots

Isn't there a rhyming slang in the UK where the last word in this type of word coupling rhymes with the actual word that was intended.
For instance someone would say "Since the lift was out, I had to use the bannanas and pairs". When they mean "I had to use the stairs."
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.
It more than likely was used as a place holder until a suitable title that doesn't confuse this draft with another document is found.
In any event, I thought someone would remark about how well crafted this draft page was before I saw anyone picking nits or reading more into it then what it actualy is.
***
I found that this WiKi page flows very well, maintains the same writing style through out, follows a logical outline, and over all; does a very good job describing something that can not even be held in the hand yet.
I caught myself flicking horizontally and vertically with my finger on my desktop as I read along.
Good job Noel!
Thanks for the heads up Reggie.
