I too believe the real development will come out of the type of series you are starting, enabling people to build a GUI app using python. OK, maybe that's not for the type of applications people were carping about. But I'm following your series because I know with python even I can build something. Btw, this is a thanks for starting the series. I've been reluctant to leave ruby (which I've learned a little about) for python, but the tools and the device are here, so I'm following you all the way.

I have just spent the last week downloading 900 plus megabytes through a 56k dial connection just so I can develop for it. Now I have a true Maemo development enviroment. I have already wrote several applications just using the device itself while waiting for my downloads. In a just a few days with PyMaemo I have wrote a program to batch send test labels to the thermal printers I maintain at work. I have also most finished a system info application. As far as the device, it has been very stable so far and I have been very pleased with it. I could not agree more, it also takes time.
