Maemo SDK Virtual Image based on Ubuntu Intrepid Desktop



This is very promising.

I have a question: how many SDKs and libraries are common in Maemo and Ubuntu and how compatible can be a Maemo application and an Ubuntu application both run on the same hardware? Do they need much work of porting and recompilation?
