In 2007, the Nokia N800 came out. Nokia released Maemo OS 2007, and dropped support for the N770 they had been selling a few months before. The OS2008 / Maemo 4 release wasn’t released for the N770 by Nokia, though hackers released an unofficial distribution. Next came a point release, which was a major pain to install, but added APT support so that the OS could be updated without having to mess with firmware tools.
