If they're going to be putting big dollars behind a brand, they need to own that important decision.
Who knows how much more buzz such a thing might have created...
Plus, consider the practical issues:
1. Would the name discussion occur in the open? If so, the name could be stolen. And imagine the cybersquatting opportunity.
2. Any name chosen would have to be checked for how it sounds in various languages. Would the community do this? Domain name checks?

The article mixes up scrapping the Maemo name with scrapping Maemo. Meego "Maemo 6" is going to be an instance of Meego 1.0

I don't see this being any other different that what we already know. It does not say anything in one or the other way, except that Maemo5 won't run on other devices. Which is hardly a surprise. It also does not say Maemo5 is dead, please see http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=46187 for saner information.

I'm sure it was simply because the N900 was the most viable example. Don't read too much into that picture.

You know...I was tooling around the intertubes today, looking at phone specs and what not, and I realized that the n97 mini is pretty much the same phone as the x6. They appear to have the same processor (Arm 11, 434Mhz), same amount of RAM (128MB), same screen size (3.2 inches) and resolution, though one is capacitive the other is resistive, same camera resolution (5MP). The only differences that I could pick out, are the built in memory (8GB vs 16 or 32GB), the keyboard or lack of keyboard on the x6, and the battery size. Even the dimensions are very close. I makes me hope....that there'll be a keyboarded and keyboard-less version of what's next.
