iMAndroid has screenshots and a video of Google's Android mobile platform running on the Neo Freerunner. "Some new shots & specs exclusive to iMAndroid have emerged. The pics are of Neo FreeRunner device running Android Platform. A little fuzzy, but its very likely that Neo FreeRunner will be the second Android Phone!"

Android has been ported to and running on the Nokia N800 and N810 for a few weeks now. The port is nearing usefulness (as in, it runs okay, but things like battery indicator and dual booting isn't working.)

Hi memson!

Thanks for the link to NITdroid- that was exactly what I was looking for seeing as the n810 is pretty much the same chipset as in the n95 as I understand.

I can live without opengles graphics accel no prob, but sound, GPS and battery monitoring are certainly all 'must-haves' for serious use for me, and these are all currently lacking under NITdroid at the mo it would seem and theres no mention of a n9X port.

Sorry, no idea about the N9X series. The Nokia Internet Tablets run Maemo (Linux based) and most of the OS is opensource now.

I did submit a story here, but it doesn't sseem to have been picked up.
