Of course, if they called it the Queue they couldn't trademark it.

BTW: Teleread recently has a post about the silly names of all the readers. After I read the post I shook my head at the time I wasted reading it. Google, Yahoo, Wii, Microsoft, Apple are all STUPID names too. But, we know what they are and what they refer to. Isn't that all that is important.

I agree. They should've gone the way of Sci-Fi channel (Sy-Fy). Dumb it down people - call it Q! Oh, wait they can't register that either!
Even their slogan sounds a bit off - "Live, Work, Que". Is that like Live and Work in order to stand in a Queue?
It just doesn't work for me.
But name aside, it looks pretty good. I don't know if I can wait until April though. The switcharoo back to my PDA after marrying off my Iliad isn't working well at all for my eyes.
Before I saw the demos, I had all but given up on the idea of being able to read techincal PDFs on eReaders without reflowing and cropping.
