                               Software
======================================================================
Maemo 5, also known as Fremantle, is the default operating system on
the Nokia N900. Maemo 5 is Nokia's adaptation of the Linux desktop
environment for a pocket-sized device. The UI is fully customizable:
the user is able to move widgets around, add/remove widgets, change
the background and add shortcuts to applications. The N900 comes
preloaded with a variety of applications such as:

* 'Web': Mozilla-based web browser called MicroB, which includes Adobe
Flash 9.4 and RSS reader. (Updates to Flash 10.1 are available)
* 'Phone application'
* 'VoIP': Session initiation protocol, Skype with video chat, Google
Talk with Video
* 'Conversations' (IM chat and SMS, MMS (only with the PR1.2 software
update))
* 'Media': Camera, Photos, Media player
* 'Productivity': Email, Calendar, PDF reader, Contacts
* 'Ovi Maps' (Find position on a map using the GPS, Search an address
or location, Plan routes)
* 'Utilities': Clock, Notes, Calculator, Sketch, File manager
* 'System Tools': File manager, Application manager for downloads,
Widgets
* 'Games': Bounce, Chess, Mahjong, Blocks (Tetris), Marbles

More than 1500 additional applications (an overwhelming majority of
them free to download and use) have been created by 3rd party
developers. Custom kernels are also available via the App Manager for
users who need more out of their devices.

Maemo uses upstart to reduce the boot time.

An application called "Easy Debian" installs a Debian LXDE image on
the internal memory, enabling applications such as IceWeasel (Firefox
browser) and all of the OpenOffice.org suite to run within Maemo.
Other applications in the Synaptic package manager that are included
in the Debian installation, such as GIMP, can run within the LXDE
interface. Software can also be added to Debian using Maemo's chroot
utility using Synaptic or apt-get at the command line, such as
Stellarium or the zim desktop wiki, and this can then be accessed
either via the LXDE desktop, by icons in the program manager, or by
shortcuts on the desktop.
