Have you (or anyone else for that matter) tried the Maemo 5 SDK yet? Is there a version available as a VMware Appliance, like for the N800 (which I have and use)? Anyone use the SDK installer on SuSE 11.1, instead of Debian?
It would be fun to get this and play around with it while I am waiting for it to hit the stores.

Well, if NASA and Russia were in the back seat of the spaceship, and my father was driving, he would tell them both that they should have gone before they left. And that they'll both just have to shut up and hold it in until they get there.

The VMware appliance is a thingy that you run on your PC (and, yes, it is a Linux client). You can develop and simulate code that will run on the N8XX. A cross compiler which is part of the development environment produces code for the ARM.

. . . as an owner of an N800, I would like to know if they will still provide the "Easter Egg" / "Red Pill / Blue Pill" option for installing all the cool (and usefull) apps.
Unfortunately, these also could make it easy for some dork to brick the thing.
I saw a documentary about so-called "Bounty Hunters" in the US. The guy claimed that family members were to most likely to reveal where you are hiding. He added a quip like:
"For every person, there are two folks who love you, two people that hate you, and six people who don't give a damn about you. I just need to find the last eight, and they will lead me to my target."
. . . my employer supplies me with a SchtinkPad with whatever version of Windows they decide to support. Corporate spy stuff installs updates automatically, checks if my passwords are "conform", etc., and automatically sends a email to my manager informing him that one of his "manageable entities" does not "conform to the norm." I have not used Vista, because my employer has not decided to roll it out. If they decide to roll out Windows 7, I guess I'll be on board.
But your "committed" statement reminds me of the old eggs and bacon breakfast joke: "The hen participated, the pig was committed."
TFA did not mention who provided the technology. Wouldn't it be a hoot and a half, if it was Siemens Nokia Networks?
They're the folks that provided Iran with the filtering technology in the first place.
That would be an excellent double-dipping business strategy: sell one side the stuff to close off the net; sell the other side stuff to open it up again.

Hell, an AK-103? Where do I trade my games in?
From the Nokia press release that showed how to get root access ( http://flors.wordpress.com/2009/08/27/software-freedom-lovers-here-comes-maemo-5/):

What a ironic twist on the classical Slashdot Zombie paradigm.

. . . can't we just use the Patriot Act to extraordinarily rendition Global Warming off to Guantanamo?
"Hell-ooooo, Global Warming! Meet your new friend, the cool and refreshing Water-board!"
I think it's high time that we took some bold, firm, enhanced scientific techniques against this Global Warming.

Slashdot has grown way, way, beyond it's Linux / Buffy / Anime roots, as has "geekdom" itself.
I must have used the wrong roots.

I think I need to shake down Nokia for providing them with all these free advertisements.
Sorry, I guess I should have provided a link: http://wiki.maemo.org/Red_Pill_mode

For the N800 systems, Nokia even provided Maemo VMware development images where you could build your own apps, and shove them over to the tablet.
You needed to jump through some hoops to get root (ssh) access, but the info was all available on the Net.
