Nokia N900 Hacked to Run Android 2.2 Froyo

We all know that the Nokia N900 packs in some potent hardware in that tiny frame. The phone, even though a generation old, is a powerhouse, thanks to the 600Mhz ARM Cortex A8 inside. Also, due to its OS being the Linux based Maemo, it is relatively easier to port another Linux based OS on the N900, rather than say doing so on a Symbian based handset.

Some geeks have ported Android on to the N900 and have posted a video showing Android working on the aging Nokia flagship. What's more intriguing is the fact that it is the latest version of Android - the Froyo that is shown to be working on the N900.

The N900 released in mid-2009 boasts of a 3.5 inch resistive touchscreen and comes loaded with the Maemo operating system. Recently, Nokia had announced that the N900 and its successors would use its upcoming MeeGo OS developed by Nokia in collaboration with Intel.
