Evolution of Maemo
A series of Internet Tablets with touch screen have been built until today with the Maemo platform. The first device was the Nokia 770 Internet Tablet that was launched in November 2005. The Nokia 770 Internet Tablet allowed Internet access over WLAN connection. It had an Opera Internet browser and allowed consumers to stream files, tune in to Internet radio, and play favorite videos and music.

The next device on the Maemo platform was the Nokia N800 Internet Tablet built on Maemo 3 release. It added Skype/VoIP-calls over WLAN and had an integrated camera.

Another step forward was the Nokia N810 using Maemo 4. It has also a full QWERTY keyboard beside the touch screen, a Mozilla technology-based Internet browser, GoogleTalk support, and GPS onboard.

The latest device on the Maemo platform is the Nokia 810 WIMAX Edition on Diablo release, which added WiMAX connectivity to the software.
