Hi.

In that case,

A kernel, library stack and Maemo on top of it.
In this order....


Hildon-------------------------------------Topmost layer
GTK+, D-Bus 
X Window System
Debian 
GNU/Linux---------------------------------Bottommost layer



Can I build a basic internet tablet and also use its internet
functionalities( Browze, Mail, VoIP, etc)?????


Can u please tell me all the softwares/Source-codes I will have to
install on the bare hardware reference board????
Is my software stack I have mentioned above correct???

Hello,

Maemo alone will not work. You need the also a small basis in form of a
small kernel.

Hi.
I thank you all for the answers given to me.
Things are now clear.
Maemo is a development platform to develop applications for Nokia 770
and n800 .

There is just one curiosity:
1)      After installing Maemo( and its library stack)   on a hardware
reference board(with an LCD display, used for development) can I use
that platform itself as an internet tablet?? 
				That is, Can I use internet (for
browsing, mailing, VoIP, etc) through the hardware platform with just
Maemo3.0.
				In a simpler way, can maemo3.0 itself
serve as a very basic OS??

I await a reply.
Thank you all in advance ,
