- some special form factor? (mobile + tablet + desktop in one?)
- extreme compatibility? (android, symbian and wp7 vm preinstalled?)

It can't be just a meego handset on some souped up spec.
That's not disruptive enough to not be a joke.
Glad to see the word "disruptive" still peppering this tread since I last read it. Perhaps the thread's name should be changed to The EPIC disruptive tread" It certainly has had that effect on me! Unfortunately a good name for this disruptive device has yet to be suggested. Although I tried, it was correctly pointed out that my first attempt was somewhat juvenile. And, indeed I do resemble that remark. But I do think that it would be good to somehow have "disruptive" in the device's name. Perhaps it might be good to have a fruit as part of the name too as that is a popular thing to do and might help sales. Let me think...

How about "the apple disruptor" ... kind of like iphone killer... no, sj would not approve... too many law suits. Not good. Hmm, maybe "disrupting mango"... no, mango is already taken by WP7 phone. I know! I know! How about "The Disrupting Tomato" Kind of like interupting tomato, but, you know, more disruptive. Hmmm... well, I don't know. After further thought, I may have stumbled on a better name for nokia's WP7 phone. Well, at least I tried, but without success. Suggestions are welcome (about the name of the device!).
