Nokia N900 Can Dual Boot Android And Maemo

on 01/24/2010 06:58 PST

Nokia’s N900 is certainly a cool phone, but the Maemo 5 OS that it runs may not be for everybody. Considering that Google’s Android OS is one of the more popular operating systems out there at the moment, it’s really cool to find out that a person called Brandon Roberts has managed to get Nokia’s N900 to dual-boot Maemo and Android. It’s currently still a proof-of-concept, but it seems pretty usable from the video that was posted. Unfortunately for N900 owners out there, instructions on how to do this aren’t available, but hopefully there will be detailed guides on how to do this sometime soon. After all, who wouldn’t want a dual-booting Nokia N900, right? Remember to check out our review on the N900 if you aren’t familiar with the device.
