For anxious people the code is here.

Check it out.
Peter Seebach from Wind River has written an interesting article in IBM’s developerWorks explaining how to get started with the Maemo SDK in a very simple and straightforward way.
From the products’ introduction to well picked references, going through scratchbox, R&D mode and techspecs; this is probably the most hands-on introduction I’ve seen, and yet more [...]
