True. Doesn't sound like Nokia, but then they've very few named communication devices IIRC. Personally, I like "netpad", but it's probably a bit technical sounding - then again, it fits with the ever popular "netbook".

EDIT: It looks, from Jaffa's link, like the netpad ran/runs Symbian, which would make it even easer for Nokia to apply some gentle arm-twisting.
Well, EPOC R5 - the precursor to Symbian/S60/UIQ etc. Given Teklogix's swift killing of any Symbian/EPOC based devices post-merger and the killing of things like the Linux netBook Pro, I'm not sure how much sway Nokia'll have :-/
