I've already coined the term "maemofonino" in Italian... - so maemophone is my choice!

I think a big factor in it is how maemo is actually pronounced.

See the link in my sig? That's more for show than anything, I still don't have a clear understanding of how it's said.

maemo - IMHO I was always under impression it is pronounced as in Latin, so "memo" or with English spelling "m-eh-m-oh". Am I wrong?

"mah-Eh-mo"

mah as the beginning of my

mo as in Monica, but only pronouncing the M and the O.
Personally, I still say "May-Moe", even tho I know it's wrong.

"Wait! I'll just go and get maPhone" or "You can use maPhone" or "I have maPhone here, let us see what the internet says"

maPhone FTW!
