For those who really need insane amounts of extra power

BatteryGeek are manufacturers of all linds of external battery packs, and the one they offer for the Sony PSP does work for the Nokia 770.
Y'all have to googgel them up by yourselves, 'cuz I lost the urrel.

I guess it's one of those questions that has not real answer. As mentioned previously, there is the "encyclopaedia" example for a long E. The condos we live in are named "Saebroc", pronounced Say-brahk. And then there is the long I, as well as many other non-English possibilities.
In the absence of any knowledge of original intentions, if there are any, I guess it will just have to be debated along with the number of angels that can dance on the head of a pin.

Hi all.
This might come a bit too late, but i can tell you how to pronunce "maemo". I came up with the name, so...
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".
Maemo was the name of my desktop, and little by little it gathered importance in the project, as i made it the canonical repository for everybody involved. And became THE server. And the project. And the SDK. And the OS.
So now that the origin is clear, and me being Spanish and Finnish being pronounced almost exactly as Spanish...
"mah-Eh-mo"
mah as the beginning of my
eh as the "e" in "pet"
mo as in Monica, but only pronouncing the M and the O.
Hope you like it.

Dude, make a recording of you saying it. Then it will make more sense.

Yeah, but it was revived by the guy who came up with the word! How cool is that?
And anyway, what did you expect Jesus to do? Start a new thread? No. He had to resurrect this thread.
