Also, there are implementations for Windows CE, Windows Mobile, Maemo, MeeGo and Android available for separate download.

Maemo ( rebranded MeeGo in 2010 ), a Debian Linux based graphical user environment, was developed for the Nokia Internet Tablet devices ( 770, N800, N810 & N900 ).

In 2010, Nokia and Intel combined the Maemo and Moblin projects to form MeeGo.

The most common mobile operating systems ( OS ) used by modern smartphones include Google's Android, Apple's iOS, Nokia's Symbian, RIM's BlackBerry OS, Samsung's Bada, Microsoft's Windows Phone, Hewlett-Packard's webOS, and embedded Linux distributions such as Maemo and MeeGo.

Maemo was later merged with Intel's project Moblin to form MeeGo.

For the Maemo and MeeGo platforms there is mDictionary, which among other dictionary formats, supports StarDict.

At the Mobile World Congress in February 2010, it was announced that the Maemo project would be merging with Moblin to create the MeeGo mobile software platform.

In the wake of the release of the MeeGo code base, there are two main community efforts to bring MeeGo to the current Maemo devices ( N800, N810, and N900 ), as Nokia has launched the N9, which is powered by MeeGo.

Harmattan was a transitional operating system developed by Nokia, which was planned to be a bridge between Nokia's Maemo and the MeeGo project.

Mer is a completely open-source alternative operating system targeting mobile and embedded systems, first developed for reimplementing Maemo in the open, and then rebased on top of the MeeGo tools.

As a new feature of the Maemo operating system, Maemo 5 offers the Qt library as a community-supported component, alongside the officially supported GTK + backend.

The NOKIA Developer Wiki community has articles about Qt development, and includes tutorials and articles about development for the Maemo operating system.

Nokia has since announced plans for the Qt libraries to be bundled with Maemo by Q4 2008, though without a platform-specific " hildonized " user interface as is offered with GTK ( meaning Qt applications will look different from hildonized GTK applications ).

Originally developed on IRIX, Freeciv has been ported to many different operating systems: it is distributed with many Linux distributions, offers installers for Microsoft Windows, and has been known to run on Mac OS X, Solaris, Ultrix, QNX, OS / 2, Cygwin, AmigaOS, RISC OS, Maemo, ZETA, SkyOS and various BSDs.

Nokia entered the tablet space with the Nokia 770 running Maemo, a Debian-based Linux distribution custom-made for their Nokia Internet Tablet line.

A fully playable port has been produced for the Wii, GP2X portable game system, the Pandora handheld, and the Maemo 5-based N900 smart phone.

Nokia's Symbian operating system features a barcode scanner which can scan barcodes, while mbarcode is a barcode reader for the Maemo operating system.

Although a Windows, Linux, and Maemo version are available, it is primarily designed for the Sony PSP.

) do not support OpenVPN, it is available for Maemo, Windows Mobile 6. 5 and below, jailbroken iOS 3. 1. 2 + devices, Android 4. 0 + devices, and Android devices that have had the Cyanogenmod aftermarket firmware flashed or have the correct kernel module installed.

There are apps for the iPhone, and the Nokia internet tablet running the Maemo operating system.

* Fremantle, the code name for Maemo 5, a mobile Linux distribution developed by Nokia for the N900 phone

Maemo is a software platform developed by Nokia and improved upon by the Maemo community for smartphones and Internet tablets.

Since Diablo ( Maemo 4. 1 ), Maemo supports " Seamless Software Update " ( SSU ), which allows incremental operating system upgrades " over the air " using the Advanced Packaging Tool, without the need for a full flash with every update.

* Lenovo announced it would ship select models with SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop pre-installed For instance Google's Android mobile operating system, Nokia's Maemo and HP's WebOS mobile operating system run on the Linux kernel.

Maemo is mostly based on open source code, and has been developed by Maemo Devices within Nokia in collaboration with many open source projects such as the Linux kernel, Debian, and GNOME.

The Maemo 5 user interface is slightly different ; the menu bar and info area are consolidated to the top of the display, and the four desktops can be customized with shortcuts and widgets.

Maemo provides the Mozilla-based MicroB web-browser with complete Adobe Flash support, which can operate over a wireless connection.

Maemo devices can be updated using a simple flashing method with a computer over USB.

Maemo comes with a number of built-in applications, but additional applications can be installed from a number of sources, including various official and community software repositories, and deb files through either the built-in package manager " Application manager ", or the Advanced Packaging Tool and dpkg.

The Maemo operating system is designed for Nokia Internet Tablets, which feature very similar specifications to Nokia's high-end N-series and E-series cellphones, with TI OMAP ARM SoCs, large screens, and expandable internal storage.

Although the highly optimized, hardware-specific nature of Maemo renders its operation on non-Internet tablet hardware very difficult, most of the important non-proprietary parts of the operating system, along with some of the available third-party party applications, are actively being packaged for Debian and are available for use on other distributions, which will open up a large range of other hardware options.

SSU, in particular, is one of the most significant parts of the Diablo release, as it eliminates the flash-based upgrade system of previous Maemo releases which required the user to completely wipe their device with each upgrade.

Maemo 5 comes with new hardware, the Nokia N900 featuring a Texas Instruments OMAP3 SoC, with an HSPA modem and HD camera, which provides significant improvements in speed, 3D acceleration, and media playback.

The Maemo 5 operating system comes preloaded with a variety of applications such as:

; Web: Maemo Browser ( Mozilla based web browser with Adobe Flash 9. 4 ), RSS reader

; Others: FBReader ( e-book reader ), GPE ( OpenSync compatible PIM ), rdesktop ( RDP remote access ), Rhapsody ( subscription music, US only ), ScummVM ( game emulator ), Free42S ( HP 42S calculator emulator ), gPodder ( podcast client ), Maemo Mapper ( includes GPS functionality ), MaemoMyth ( MythTV frontend that uses GMythStream ), Monsoon HAVA ( TV viewer and controller ), Navit ( GPS navigation software ), Obscura Photo Manager, Palm Emulator from Access ( ARM based Palm emulator ), Phonelink ( SMS and voice caller via BT ), Quiver Image Viewer, SDict Viewer ( sdict-based dictionary / encyclopedia viewer ), Vagalume ( Last. FM player ), VNC, YouAmp ( music player ), LogMeIn Browser Plugin

; Fremantle Stars: Applications developed by the community and supported by Nokia as Fremantle Stars will be part of Maemo 5.

; Debian: OpenOffice. org running on Maemo 5 using Easy Debian. The complete ARM Debian distribution can be installed as a Maemo application, making thousands of software packages available ( including OpenOffice. org, Mozilla Firefox, Java, the GNOME and LXDE desktops, etc .).

The user interface in Maemo 4 is similar to many handheld interfaces, and features a " home " screen, which acts as a central point from which all applications and settings are accessed.

Up to Maemo 4 ( AKA OS2008 ), the default screen is the " Home " screen — the central point from which all applications and settings are accessed.

Due in part to the free and open source nature of Linux and Maemo, porting applications to Maemo is a straightforward procedure.

Some applications are original software written specifically for Maemo, while other applications are straight ports of existing Linux programs.

Some notable applications include: Mauku ( micro-blogging client ), Maemo Mapper ( map application ), Numpty Physics ( game ), ScummVM ( game, includes Beneath a Steel Sky ), Xournal ( notes / sketch utility ), Fennec ( web browser ), FBReader ( e-book reader ), OSM2Go ( OpenStreetMap editor )

Nokia expects the open source community to play a large part in the development of applications for Maemo 5.
