Peanuts not included? 
The original name came from the inspiration for the app, Memopad+ for PalmOS, so we're losing the easy association from that. Perhaps add a "Plus" to the name?

Classic example of arbitrary Nokia decision making. Couldn't just fallback to the no brainer of tagging with lat/lon if network isn't accessible, could you Nokia?

No point in adding "Ultimate" (or "Plus" for that matter) when there are no other variants.

I didn't know about Memopad+ for PalmOS, I thought Maemopad+ was named like that because Maemopad already existed.
I might be doing some hacking on Maemopad+ for Fremantle tonight, watch out.. (Oh, and can we stick to PadMae, or are there better suggestions? If so, please tell me
)

Yea, lets scratch the plus.. its an old marketing thing. And it is a problem on webadresses and such things..
I tweaked and did some stuff here.. what do you think of adding an orange element to each icon? to connect with the logo and such..
and whatabout that icon? would that be ok?..
whats lorem ipsum? link:Lorem ipsum

Lets stick wit PadMae. I like it alot and thp does too which is most important
thp: could you give me some details and confirmation on how I should package these icons? Am I doing right with these 48px pngs ? would you like me to name the files in a special manner so you easily can use them..
perhaps you could give me a zip with the "old" ones from the maemopad+ so I can name them correctly from start. I suppose I can find them on my n810 somewhere... ?

Memopad+ was an awesome improvement on Memo Pad, hence the fond memories of it lingering into 2010.

Version 1.0 features the classic PIM applications Address, Date Book, Memo Pad, and To Do List. Also included is a calculator and the Security tool to hide records for private use.

If we want I can create some more fancy icons.. I did this very minimalistic now but I sure am capable of doing something more spectaculor or graphic design classic..
