Welcome!

Maemo UI Guide CoverThank you for visiting the development site for “An Unofficial Guide to Creating a Most Excellent maemo User Interface” — especially if you’re a developer. This guide is intended to be both a starting point and a reference manual for developing applications for the maemo development platform. My main goal for writing this document is so that maemo applications will not only be enjoyable and easy-to-use for Internet Tablet users, but also so that maemo applications will reflect well on Nokia Internet Tablets in general.

Keep in mind that this guide is “unofficial.” This means that the content contained within is primarily a well-educated opinion, written by a designer who thinks that there could be some improvement in the execution, presentation, and consistency within third-party maemo applications. Likewise, this is a living document. That means that it is continually being scrutinized and revised so that the information imparted is both easy-to-read and accurate.
