Our Nokia friends were very generous to send us over their newest Internet Tablet, the N800, for a review. Read more below about our experience with this Linux-based mobile gem.

Nokia is in the process of bringing this to the 770 in hybrid form. Most 3.0 SDK apps will work out of the box. There is more info on the dev-list. Don't read everything you see on the Maemo site verbatim.

The N770 port of 2007 OS is simply a developer digested release, it is not intended for the large crowd as it will never be made official. The point remains, they should have never broken compatibility.

Never? Never ever ever?

Even when the API is fundamentally broken? Even when the ABI has to change?

Never is a strong word. The API isn't that different, it's mainly extensions. EDS-DBus, Dates, and Contacts rebuilt without a single change.
