About Maemo software

This device uses Maemo 5 software on Linux. The software is
built for computer-like performance, enabling the running of
multiple applications at the same time, and delivering a wide
range of activities ranging from web browsing to video
recording. Your device supports Maemo Update, which allows
updating the operating system and applications over a WLAN
or packet data connection.
With Maemo software, it is possible to develop your own
applications for your device. To do this, you can use the
Maemo Software Development Kit (Maemo SDK). For more
