Interesting, I always assumed it was a variation on the Finnish word "maaemo" meaning "Mother Earth."

Nobody really knows how to pronounce it. It was only uttered once a year by the high priest, and since the temple fell it has not been spoken aloud in thousands of years.

It doesn't matter how I pronounce it. I only have seen 2 N900s with my eyes. The other one is with my oldest brother, who lives about a thousand miles away. We rarely speak on the phone, and when we do we rarely speak the word "Maemo" and when we do we say "Mee-Mo" to rhyme with "me" and "mo".
Everyone else with whom I have shared this phone's awesomeness has simple referred to it as my phone or, in the case of one friend, "Your cool Linux phone."

Wait a minute! I thought we just saw the 'official' pronounciation "mah-Eh-mo"

Can we now try to guess the meaning of the word? :rolleyes:

The origin is as stated: pwgen (a password generator utility which you can set to give you all character passwords) gave me an option, "maimo". I used 5 characters names for my machines, so i also restricted it to that. But I did not like the "i" so I changed it for an "e".

It's a weird name.... Weirdest name for any "mass marketed" device OS..

The way I say it: "May-Mo".

I always used memo, like the note. It's easier, though it's kid of bugging me where writing code, I've spelt TMaemo.Lines several times now.
