<BR>
maemo is a application framework which need a OS in form of a rootstrap. If you will install maemo you get a development framework. To use the framework you need a host which needs a OS by himself. Maemo is not something like a gui or a phone OS like symbian.<BR>
What do you looking for?<BR>

Betreff: Urgent basic help please...<BR>
<BR>
Hi developers.<BR>
<BR>
I am Vikas.<BR>
I have a basic doubt.<BR>
<BR>
I got the information from Wikipedia that Nokia N800 uses Maemo3.0 in<BR>
the form of Internet Tablet OS 2007. <BR>
Am I right that this means that Maemo is almost a complete package with<BR>
which a phone can have very basic functionalities???????<BR>
<BR>
Now, the library stack of Maemo3.0 looks like this according to<BR>
Wikipedia:<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Hildon-------------------------------------Topmost layer<BR>
GTK+, D-Bus <BR>
X Window System<BR>
Debian <BR>
<BR>
GNU/Linux---------------------------------Lowest layer<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Now if I put the above open source components on a hardware platform (an<BR>
appropriate board with LCD display, used for development, not the<BR>
phone's board)<BR>
and then install Maemo3.0 on top of it, will I see the very basic GUI<BR>
of the mobile phone and develop further????????????<BR>
Is such a thing possible????????<BR>
If yes, please let me know which hardware board to use for this<BR>
experimentation.<BR>
<BR>
<BR>
Please let me know...<BR>
Awaiting a reply....<BR>
<BR>
Thank you,<BR>
Vikas N.R<BR>
