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

Sorry, I was trying to say "Can be multiple form factors". :) But it shouldn't be news even then, of course the idea of a platform is that it would support multiple different kinds of form factors.

See page 5. This thread has already been won!

I can see that making endless suggestions is important to these types of thread, but everyone should be aware that if they make a suggestion that involves more than three syllables, they will be taken out and shot.

I think Netpad works for me.

"NoBlet (as NOkia taBLET)" Doesn't this sound like you are referring to a small penis?

Thanks for that! It makes me realise that the new name should be the Nokia "Device".

Nokia Net-Xplorer.

Should ring a bell with most (=Windows) people and is naturally "N-series"...

as i find myself using the N800 mostly to look up info via wikipedia and similar...

Well, in that vain, with that Star Trek theme, it does become a Start Trek "PADD".

PiMP has a marketing friendly ring to it, right ? Make of it what you will... pocket or personal / internet / mobile or media / player.

Can the word point a little bit to an crossover of a MID and a smartphone?

Ok, I suggested this elsewhere, but...

The Nokia Converger!

If only "Singularity" didn't have so many syllables. Mindstep? The Shift?
