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).
The source for the video below is unknown, but that doesn’t keep the rumor mill from grinding away at full speed on this one. Android has been shown displaying Google Maps data and allegedly making a phone call. Of course, this all could just be smoke and mirrors, but assuming it isn’t, this shows the power of Android even on older tech like the N95. Just for reference, the HTC Dream - purportedly Android’s debut handset - has about 3 times the power of the N95 as far as processing is concerned. Check out the video after the break.
Android has been successfully tested and running on the QWERTY-keyboard toting Nokia N810 tablet. You can do it yourself by jumping on over to eLinux.
