"The development environment for the N810 is essentially the same as that described for the N800 (see my other articles on the 770 and N800). There have been updates to Scratchbox and the maemo environment, but the essential process remains the same, and the Scratchbox and SDK install remain quick and easy. There are two major changes that are likely to affect a regular developer. The first is that xterm is installed out of the box; this is a big improvement. The second is that, when you install the openssh-server package, you are prompted to set a new root password. This is a big step up from the previous behavior: a default root password of "rootme"."
