Okay, I know this is sort of off-topic, but it fits in with the title of the thread. The name that Nokia should be concerned with is nothing to do with Maemo, or logos, or anything like that. Nokia needs a marketable description for the category that the n800 is filling. Internet Tablet just doesn't cut it, because its not a concept that makes sense to most, and it doesn't begin to describe what you can do on one.

I've taken to describing it to people as a "mini computer" instead because that's the only thing that the general public seems to understand. Coming up with a better name for the device for marketability reasons should trump any of this stuff about Maemo and its logos. Quite frankly, if they want these to catch on (supposedly theres 2 more steps for mass marketability), the public doesn't care about the name or logo for Maemo.

Edit: I know this sounds negative so I'll add... I'm very impressed with some of the submissions, but my point is just that it won't really accomplish much in the long run to have a logo contest.
