So, it's a computer in your pocket. . . .
I think he was referring to the word Maemo. I have never used that word in casual (aka talking to non-geeks) speech. In that sense, Maemo is still not "cool," because no one wants (or knows how ) to say it. When people ask what my N810 is, I say it is a mobile computer, and they understand that (somewhat*). But if I say its a MID running Maemo Linux, they are like WTF???


*People don't seem to understand why it does not have a phone, thats the biggest thing
