Some crafty coders over at InternetTableTalk were able to (with more than a bit of effort) get the Android platform up-and-running on the Nokia N810. Seems as though Nokia devices are a bit partial to Android, which comes as a surprise considering Nokia’s new efforts in open handsets. Let’s hope it’s a sign of things to come. Check out the install instructions after the break (they’re super easy).

Step #1
Put android.img.bz2 on your memory cardAfter putting the file on the memory card (either one) there must be 110MB free space on whichever card is holding the android.img.bz2 image.
