I believe, and this is my personal belief and does not necessary agree with everyone else in the team, that a regular visitor does not care about his device being OEM or not. It was suggested that we create a catch-all category for these devices; however, it seems to me that it would be more appropriate to create unique sections for those devices that are popular enough. So I see that it'd be quite possible to have a BeBook section along with a Astak section, for instance, even though discussions within these sections may occasionally deal with similar topics. That is, as long as there is a critical mass of interested people for a particular device or brand.
I concur with your opinion.
