Nokia N900 Linux Smartphone Running OS X

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the mr-johnson's-dog dept.

Rovaani writes "There is a video floating around of a Nokia N900 smartphone running the full desktop Mac OS X 10.3. From the author, Tomi Nikkanen: 'I believe this makes the N900 the first smartphone ever to run a full version of Mac OS X (at any speed, slow or otherwise). As you can see from the heavily edited video, it took almost 2 hours to reach the "About my Mac..." window. Keep your eye on the time display as that will give you an impression of just how uselessly slow it is.'"

    Oh for god's sake. It's a linux box, of COURSE it runs Pear PC.

    However, it's a total waste of everyone's time. Who cares? Really? This is only interesting for twitter and digg retards. When did this sort of crap become news?! Arghh. Yes I know. I'm not new here. I'll be quiet and go back to rocking back and forth in a corner.
