Well... that's what I still hope for. Would be the ideal design, maybe even better than the beloved 770-hardcover.
Clamshell or, maybe even nicer, something like this.

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

My vote goes to "Netpad".

But there was the suggestion of "Mobile Internet Communicator (MIC). Maybe, an option for Nokia to use when throwing out the first device with Maemo 5 on it. Gotta read more in this thread...
I think "Netpad" is really nice - catchy & it gives you an idea of what the device does.
EDIT: then again, "pad" might not be ideal for different form-factors...

Okay, not Mobile Internet Communicator either.
"Netpad" would be fine if were just trying to find another name for "Internet Tablet". But what if we put more features into Maemo 5 that make up a device such as most Nseries devices: high definition camera, better use for VoIP telephony, and so on? Can the word point a little bit to an crossover of a MID and a smartphone?
And good luck buying the domain first. I recently bought maemo.com, which was amazingly still available.

Do we all know where the word "Maemo" comes from?
