Nokia N900 gets Android OS through a hack, looks even hotter

by 583 comments

It’s still at the proof of concept stages so don’t get too excited about it but apparently the Nokia N900 is perfectly capable of running the Android OS. As proven by the video after the break the hacker has enabled the cool QWERTY-equipped side-slider to run the two open-source platforms in a dual-boot mode.

I’m not particularly sure if going from Maemo to Android is an upgrade or downgrade as they both have their advantages but having them both is certainly the best thing you can wish for. So now the tedious waiting until instructions on how to do it get published begins. At least we’ve got this sweet video to make it a little more bearable.
