MAEMO

A typical Maemo desktop on the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet.

'Maemo' is a Linux-based development platform for handheld devices. It is used by the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet, and its successor, the Nokia N800. The GUI is derived from the earlier Series 90 UI for the Symbian OS, as used on the Nokia 7700 and Nokia 7710 smartphones. As well as Nokia's Internet tablets, Maemo will be the GUI for the forthcoming Ubuntu Mobile and Embedded Edition of Ubuntu Linux.
The Maemo library stack looks like this:
Hildon
GTK+D-Bus
X Window System
Debian
Linux

The open source components are well-known desktop Linux libraries to make application porting trivial.

Development for Maemo is done with the Scratchbox cross-compilation toolkit.
