Sometime back we had told you how to run Debian on Nokia N900 [1], however, it looks like this news [2] takes the cake and eats it too. Brandon, a mobile technology enthusiast was able to dual-boot N900 with both Android [3] and Maemo [4].

However, porting Android to Nokia N900 [5] is more proof-of-concept at this stage and has a few bugs to be ironed out. Nevertheless, it goes to show what Nokia’s latest device is capable of and how Android can be used on any system, and it does not matter whether the manufacturer officially supports it or not.
