So far, I like tmo.org best. It's brief, & even if it's not descriptive, neither is aeolos or even maemo.org without learning first what they mean. It seems the chief objective is to be a memorable web address.
I also think that aeolos, aeolus, eolus, & other mythology-based names are less attractive candidates because they have other associations, & just the associations may deter others. Also, I think the name should be something that is not prone to misspelling by various people.
And although I generally like to be positive & not criticize things that I personally have nothing to do with, I would like to say that I have thought that internettablettalk was one of the worst website names I'd ever seen mentioned. Prone to misspelling, can carry as baggage with the 'talk' portion a perception as being just gossipy & nonproductive, & really just corny. Plus "Internet Tablet" already sounds like something from 1998 - antique & corny.
'linux-smartphone' is descriptive, direct, & fairly unencumbered with baggage, but I think it has too many letters & a hyphen is sort of the speed bump in any web address. 'opensource-smartphone' has the same drawbacks.
