Great news! the latest version of anki is now running great directly under maemo with minimum hassle. Here's what i did:

unpack anki-1.0.1.tgz to /home/user/
chmod +x ./anki
(tried to run it, missing sqlalchemy)
apt-get install python-sqlalchemy
(tried again, missing module sipconfig)
google sipconfig, download sipconfig.py, copy to /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/
./anki

The first load took a long time. I guess my config info from running it under easydebian was still around cuz it automatically loadd fullscreen and started syncing my decks. sync worked great, editing and adding works, subsequent loads take under 30 seconds.

the ui is more useable than i remember, maybe a change in anki itself?

very happy to finally have full native working anki!
