Maemo Platform

The Maemo platform is the core software stack that runs mobile devices such as the Nokia N810. The Maemo platform is built in large parts of open source components. The Maemo SDK provides an open development environment for applications on top of the Maemo platform.

The Maemo platform consists of the software stack from the Linux kernel to the Maemo APIs and the Hildon UI framework. While until today all commercially available devices running on Maemo come with the Hildon UI and a set of application delivered by Nokia, it is possible to develop other UIs on top of the Hildon UI framework. As an example, the Maemo SDK is delivered with an generic UI, the so-called Plankton UI.
