Now that the term "netbook" has gained acceptance, how about using "netlet" for internet tablet?

Good to have a discussion on the terminology for devices being built on Maemo. We are stepping up efforts in making Maemo stronger supporting the high-performance processor OMAP3 and HSPA data connectivity as announced in the Maemo Summit 2008. We will be able to built different kind of high-performance multimedia computers with touch screen that fit into your pocket. How to call these devices that are somewhat a crossover of Mobile Internet Devices, Netbooks and Smart Handhelds? I'm open to hear your suggestion.

I decided a while ago to stick with 'netbook' when I talk about my baby in public. It describes best what it is/does and keeps people from asking the "phone"-question. (It is a netbook, after all... why invent yet another term?)

Pocketpenguin? I like it but maybe corporate branding might have a problem with that term. ;-)

Netbook? Shouldn't a netbook have MS office documents editors on board in the eye of the general consumer?

Well we have OpenOffice, Gnumeric and Abiword
Maybe on the faster n900 they'll run in useable speeds.
