Yes folks, its been proven that adding the letter i to the front of anything increases the coolness factor and selling factor by a non-rational imaginary number! Whoooo!

I don't know the origin of Maemo. I took a guess that it was derived from the first two syllables of "My Mobile Computer".

Would you believe if I'd tell you that it was created by a random password generator? That's the word in Nokia and our story for the press.

Heh, that pdf calls it an "Odporny tablet"! Odd porn?
Anyway Nokia can call it anything they want. iPhone was already taken, too.
In Polish it means "weather/shock/damage proof"
I've never thought about this word the way You've mentioned

Wouldnt the release of the nokia tricorder coincide with the release of some movie or other.
