I pronounce it "maemo" So just like anything else new in technology the first time you actually say it in public to someone that has really heard the correct pronunciation, you sound like a goof.
I've always pronounced it in the same way that it would be pronounced in Spanish: mah-EH-mow. That's probably wrong, but it's too late for me to try to change now.
If we're trying to establish what the inventors of the name had in mind, I guess it depends how "ae" is pronounced in Finnish.

Finnish is pronounced as it's written with the stress on the first syllable. The average Finn would pronounce Maemo as the Spanish mentioned earlier, MAH-eh-mo.
However, I don't think the origin of this name is Finnish.
