Maemo 2.0 beta and Internet Tablet OS 2006 edition Beta released
 

It's all on http://www.maemo.org.

It states that a beta version of Internet Tablet OS 2006 Edition is available for download from http://www.maemo.org/downloads/nokia_770, but when going there it's nothing more than the 2005 Edition.

Maybe it will be up later today..

Edit: The beta image is available for download now. It should be noted however that this image is primarily intended for developers and beta testers, not for everyday users, and it doesn't include VOIP/IM functionality.

Edit 2: Seems like it in fact includes VOIP/IM. I haven't had a chance to test the beta myself yet, but this is what I've heard.

Oh damn...got me all excited.

Anyone download it yet and give it a try? A review would be nice, since I'm at work and it will be another 8 hours before I can go home and try it out :)

Everyone and their mother must be downloading this thing...I'm halfway there.

so, this essentially breaks everything? even xTerm?

Just installed it. I'll let you guys know how it is....VERY YELLOW heh.

BTW, Nokia rules. I was prepared to wait another few months for this to be released, but they did it in June. Not on time, but ahead of schedule. Gives time for developers to recompile their apps and do some regression testing - and makes me happy!

A compact, widescreen, thin, high-resolution linux-based pda with strong developer support straight from the manufacturer? This is the open source dream...
