Nope. I definitely meant self-facilitating media node.
Though of course you'd be using a Wasp T12 Speechtool, not a Gemini PDA, if you wanted to be totally Mexico.

Chris Morris too.
I remember watching The Day Today (a fake news programme) the first time around, and thinking how hilarious the ludicrous excess of the CGI intro / ident bits was.
Watching it today for the first time you might well miss the joke, because that's exactly what 24 hour TV news looks like...

Sailfish is a good crutch when the device has an inferior user interface. But the Gemini has no need for such crutches, having been designed like a real computer. Why compromise? Put a real Linux on it, with a proper desktop UI. Oh wait, they did!
So Sailfish OS would be an alternative to Android on Gemini.
And the Linux distribution which will be used by Gemini PDA is not yet decided.

The keyboard has no F1-F12 keys and lacks a few symbol keys too. I doubt it could be really used as an UMPC with "real" Linux inside rather than usual Android.

This photos of Gemini PDA at MWC 2017 shows additional/different symbols for many keyboard keys :
