Well... that's what I still hope for. Would be the ideal design, maybe even better than the beloved 770-hardcover.

Clamshell or, maybe even nicer, something like this.

I hope that the name describes more the use, the purpose and the need than any particular form factor, since naturally there be multiple form factors.

Ragnar, thats why I like the "My Nokia Explorer" idea.

We are explorers and adventurers, taking our computers with us along for the journey.

??? "naturally"?

We only have one so far. "Multiple form factors" would be hot news...

Well, I think the "My" thing is overdone these days, and branding it as "Nokia" narrows the scope. I think we should get "Internet" in there somewhere too. How about "Internet Explo..." no, wait, that wouldn't work. ;)

My vote goes to "Netpad".

To be honest - "Mobile Internet Communicator" sounds a bit clunky to me. It does describe the functionality, but it doesn't stick in a consumers head I think...too long, and somehow a bit too generic imho, especially next to Intel's MID moniker.

I think "Netpad" is really nice - catchy & it gives you an idea of what the device does.

EDIT: then again, "pad" might not be ideal for different form-factors...

I think the slate formfactor of the 770/N800 and the slide-out form-factor of the N810 count as different...

Okay, not Mobile Internet Communicator either.

"Netpad" would be fine if were just trying to find another name for "Internet Tablet". But what if we put more features into Maemo 5 that make up a device such as most Nseries devices: high definition camera, better use for VoIP telephony, and so on? Can the word point a little bit to an crossover of a MID and a smartphone?

And good luck buying the domain first. I recently bought maemo.com, which was amazingly still available.
