Maemo and Internet Tablet OS were always different beasts -- the latter
based on the former, with a huge steaming pile of non-open source stuff
dumped on top.  Maemo also has all sorts of development tools not
available on ITOS, and several system packages are different (e.g. the
set of busybox applets is and always was different).

AFAIR Chinook was always described as the SDK for OS2008.
