<p><strong>Welcome</strong></p>
<p>
- <strong>modest</strong> is a small e-mail program targetting hardware with modest resources,
- such as low-end PCs and Nokia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N800" >N800</a>/<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N810" >N810</a> internet tablets.
+ <strong>modest</strong> is a small e-mail program targetting hardware with modest resources. It's developed
+ currently for Gnome/Moblin desktops and Nokia <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/N900">N900</a> mobile computers.
Modest uses the <a href="http://www.tinymail.org/">tinymail</a> e-mail framework.<br/>
- <p>At this moment, modest requires the
- <a href="http://maemo.org/development/sdks/maemo5_alpha_sdk/">Maemo
- 5 SDK</a>
- for Nokia Internet Tablets; older versions ('Diablo') might work as well, but haven't been tested recently.
+ <p>Modest offers two user experiences:
+ <ul>
+ <li>Maemo5/Fremantle based one, targetted to Nokia N900</li>
+ <li>Gtk/Moblin based one, targetted for Gnome and Moblin desktops.</li>
+ </ul>
