Whatever name is used, it needs to be made clear that it's not a cellphone.
Do we all know where the word "Maemo" comes from?

new name for the tablets?
"mine"
And there could be an official backronym for the nerds - Multimedia InterNet Everywhere or somesuch.

The problem is that "xbook" suggests a clamshell design, like a book.

I propose minitablet, nanotablet, microtablet or something along those lines, because I see the device as a pocketable computer without keyboard. I think that tablet is a pretty established term, so nanotablet describes the device pretty well.

NETPAD
This name embodies the internet connectivity and eludes to a pad (think pad of paper) which are generally small enough to be handheld. Plus it plays off of the netbook fame.
YARR!
