The current demo apps in 2.0 are very simple, as it is still in beta  
stages. The most complex is MultihopOscilloscope, which displays  
sensor readings from a collection tree. Currently 2.x supports these  
platforms:

mica2
mica2dot
micaZ
TelosB/TMote
eyes
tinynode

It also supports the btnode3 platform, but the btnode3 developers  
have for the past few months been busy with some other projects, so  
it might be a little rough around the edges. The goal is that it will  
be polished for the 2.0 release.

Not that I know of.
