Nice.

August, I believe.

Great!

You are right. We don't support many(few?) user applications yet. For
Mamona 0.2 we won't have them too.
At this moment we are focused on the Platform itself.
http://dev.openbossa.org/trac/mamona/wiki/MamonaPlatform

You can say that Mamona 0.2 is going to be a flexible and hackable
meta distribution where you can experiment your web browser, address
book, media player, myTube, and other applications.

But let me explain a little bit about the SDK idea to avoid confusion.
We are going to release an SDK that is a simple chroot environment to
application developers that want build compile and experiment their
packages on Mamona running on Nokia's IT or omap3430sdp AND there is
the Mamona-OE build environment that is used by platform developers or
developers that want to hack the platform itself to upgrade glibc for
example or add some missing library, etc... Always being open! ;)
