Re: [gentoo-dev] Re: New category proposal

["W.Kenworthy" <billk@iinet.net.au>]

In Oz, cellphone is only used in american movies, here they are called
"mobile phones" (formal), "mobiles" (common usage) and "mob" when
written (e.g., Mob: 0419...)

There's also the upcoming "cell" processor architecture that may clash
in the future.

How about app-mobphone or app-mobilephone or perhaps
app-mobilephoneutils or some variant of?
