He notes:

[M]aemo 2.0 [has the] tools needed for application development at maemo. The purpose of this beta is to give tools for the developers to get their apps & stuff ported on the new software.

And he adds:

The beta is beta! It has its problems but I believe it is very usable for this purpose. It is not intended for regular consumers but for developers. So be careful out there. It may bite!

Here we go! Soon it will be not just in these developers’ hands but in us users’ hands, with the updated apps too.
