Yeah - don't need to own an N900 - but it would be good to!

Follow the development above OR you can download a VMware Image which has everything installed and working - you don't need to do anything except run it.

There are some Qt Creator, Nokia SDK, and Scratchbox, and MADDE, and I don't know what.

The recommended way is to develop in Qt C++. But you can also develop in Qt Python, in C, in Python, in Perl, in GTK C++.

Most people around develop on PC. There is an N900 emulator/virtual machine.

You can attach source code/compiled program to your posts for people around to test it on the real device.

When you consider your application workable, you can upload it to Maemo repository.

http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/Maemo_5_Final_SDK
http://wiki.maemo.org/Documentation/...Virtual_Images

It can be done on Windows.

Nokia QT SDK is the simplest way to get started.

The easiest way to start at present is by downloading the Nokia Qt SDK. On Linux, it comes with a symbian and Maemo toolchain and device simulator, tailored for Qt development. AFAIK, the Windows version provides the same feature set for Maemo, and more features for Symbian.

If you want to do other non-Qt develoment, the Maemo SDK might more feature complete.

I would recommend you start with Nokia Qt SDK on Windows for now.

I'd second that. Take the Nokia Qt SDK and start around playing with Qt and QML. There is as well a list of documents on Forum Nokia's site. These should help you as well.

Cheers,
Daniel

Not quite - download the VMWare image - it has Linux installed on it with ALL the tools you need to start development, even on Windows.

You will need to download vmware player as well (free). Here:
