Even I feel Rover could be a good brand name for the Maemo based phones (and tablets).

@ysss I know "Offtopic" is your loved brand-name, but remember the bed is waiting for you if you feel confused. What about "Penguin" or "Parrot" of iPhone press?

ROVER sounds like something offroad-ish.. would be good for a GPS device or something that relates to outdoor-sey equipment. I don't think it's right for the maemo line up.

@archie: Awww, don't take it personally I only referred your post because I had to explain the context of the 'robber in east european countries' beaches' remark to another poster.

How about just "Node"?

Because the device is a node in all kinds of networks: social, geographical, technological...

Hm, maybe a synonym?

crux? confluence? nexus? union? conflux?

ooh like that one...

The new Nokia Conflux family of devices! Running Maemo!

Conflux is nice...

How about "Flux" ... like flux of communications

Rover is nice too, but it is already used in cars... confusing

Don't think the battery could produce 1.21 gigawatts, even if you could throw it hard enough to hit 88 mph.
