No ovi, icons as history in browser and few more different things.
Apps there as well all were preinstalled.

Edit:

Could that be R&D mode?

No, it's Pre-Beta 1 (beta1 being 1.2011.22-6), R&D mode is just a flag in CAL

Edit: Actually it seems post beta1 and pre beta2, an unreleased image.

What do you mean by just a flag in CAL... Will flashing R&D mode give us any extra functionality?

btw when i mount it on comuter i have cities(i think it's for ovi maps), core-dump(that one is empy) and SDK(with tools for mac, win and linux) dirs. if needed can give files.

i'm gonna check repos as well and wonder what is this core-dump and how what is the use.

I kind of got overexcited when I thought it was pre-beta1, but now that it's just between two public images it's nothing useful, just an unreleased image. core-dumps is the dir where, (duh) core-dumps, are placed when an application crashes.

Dirs are all the same as beta1.

CAL is /dev/mtd1, a config partition that's read by NOLO (the bootloader) and occasionally by the system, it stores stuff like IMEI, current SW version, all flashes done to the device, signed certificates, lock code (at least on the N900) and R&D mode flags. When R&D mode is on, the hardware keyboard flashes according to kernel messages, and when some flags are set, some things are handled differently.
no-lifeguard-reset prevents reboots because of software (like what happened in the mt-toggles thread today).
no-omap-wd prevents the hardware WatchDog from rebooting the device if it isn't pinged (this was useful in N900 times to run a custom OS like Ubuntu without pinging the WD).

You can read about R&D mode here, http://wiki.maemo.org/R&D_mode
It's mostly unchanged

Maybe we can extract that and make it work for us

Meh, I stand corrected, 22-6 vs 15-7 are week numbers, not days, it's pre beta1.
