Nokia N9 wins alternative version of the Ice Cream Sandwich

Some experts point to the Nokia N9 as the best ever smartphone that will make the expected success. The reason is simple: it uses the mobile operating system MeeGo, which was kind of abandoned and currently does not behave like a real ecosystem. Thinking of putting a more modern platform this good unit, a consumer group managed to port Android to the device.

The port of Android uses the most current version of the system, Ice Cream Sandwich - which will surely leave many owners of older devices with Android native with some envy. Just the N9, designed for another platform, it seems very well run Android instead of MeeGo.

In a video posted on the Internet you can see the Ice Cream Sandwich in a Nokia N9. Even the Google Store Play works, implying that the installation of applications for the platform works normally. Making calls, too, there is no kind of difficulty.

Presented in June 2011, the N9 has stout hardware: CPU 1 GHz Cortex A8 combined with 1 GB of RAM. It may not be the top line on the market today, but he continues to address a public eager for a good unit from a respected brand.

With the modification, the N9 is capable of booting both the MeeGo as the Android. The owner of the unit chooses the system during startup. It must be said, however, that the port - called NITDroid - is still in alpha state of development. It means that a lot can change when (and if) it reaches a final version widely available.
