Suggestion: throw out that bizarre style guide, use the product names as defined by the companies (instead of trying to confuse people by making people think you are discussing Nooks and Droids when you are in fact discussing products), and use nice text styling instead.
At your disposal: fancy letter spacing, gaps between words, font weight, and small caps (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Small_caps). Simply place a "product" style (or whatever) around the appropriate words and BOOM, everything happens on its own.

(Depending on how much server-side processing goes on, you may need a product-allcaps and a regular product style, but the point remains: there are lots of ways to render fonts!)

@zorac1229 Maemo uses GTK for its user interface stuff (same as on the GNOME desktop environment, therefore many popular desktop Linux operating systems). GTK happens to be very good at scaling between different screen dimensions, font sizes, etc. since goes inside fluid containers and widget dimensions are never hard coded but stated relative to other widgets.

So, most apps can jump naturally into portrait mode, bigger screens, smaller screens, etc. without noticing.

(Of course, there are a few exceptions, for example when developers are clueless and don't place scroll bars).

@dcnoren You guys are forgetting the read link, with lots more pictures:

(I doubt that it actually boots completely, though...)

Engadget: The article told me to click a Read link, but all I could find was "Source: Milaraki," which took me to the article. Really tiny link, though. Err, make it bigger!

Wait a minute. Contest is open to Canada? When did that happen? Your contests are NEVER open to Canada!

Shit, count me in!

It Just Works!

@BIgcow05: Actually, on a vaguely similar thought, this reminds me why I use Lyx instead of OpenOffice. WAY simpler interface. Properly streamlined, easy to use and focused on the job at hand: WRITING.

I immediately thought "Moonraker."

Sure, but rumours on the other in'nernets are far more benign :P

I just want a smart, portable computer with an e-ink screen. (Okay, as long as I'm imagining this, an e-ink on one side and OLED on the other), aimed as a multi-purpose device (like today's smart phones) but _different_. Plain and simple, a practical information device as opposed to an entertainment device.

My favourite idea from the Kindle is being able to access Wikipedia. Meanwhile, I would love to see Interactive Fiction on this medium. It makes a lot of sense on e-ink. Done right, it really is a powerful art form.

The long battery life and the ability for stuff to stay on the screen for a long time makes a lot of sense for a scheduler, too.

I think the world is big enough for two different categories of multi-purpose portable gadgets with screens.

Oh, and if you aren't on Windows, both MacOS and Linux (with XOrg) support the Compose key. In Linux you need to turn it on. For me, I have it set to right Alt, so pressing Alt + e + ' gives me é.
