Gingerbread Android 2.3 enters Nokia N900 thanks to ‘Innovators’

Nokia N900 users in the near future will be able to enjoy the Android v 2.3 Gingerbread interface and features thanks to ‘innovative’ developers busy in playing with the gadgets and software.

Mobile Internet device Nokia N900, which many stubbornly believe is a communicator, was originally developed for the operating system Maemo 5. The OS works fine on this gadget, but not everyone is happy. For example, there is a team of ‘talented’ people, calling themselves NITDroid, who recently managed to install Google’s Android v 2.2 on N900. The system perfectly adapted in the new device and it could even work with all its components, including modules, cellular communications and GPS receiver. But now as version 2.2 is no longer the latest one, as recently version 2.3 Gingerbread was released, and the NITDroid team had no choice but to try to install it on Nokia N900.

Of course, they had some problems in getting the desired result, but they were resolved fairly quickly, and now the screen of N900 flaunts the interface of Google Android 2.3. Most of the work on the transfer of Gingerbread is believed to have been carried out by a certain Russian Alexey Roslyakov known by the nickname of DrinkDebugger. Ported OS has not become completely compatible with Nokia N900 as WiFi, FM and sound processor are not functional yet. Moreover, this mobile internet device is not yet able to connect to the World Wide Web, cellular networks and play audio, but the initiators behind this porting have said that these glitches will be overcome in the next before the end of 2010.
