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.'"

    Way too slow for any type of practical purpose. This is useless.

    The iPhone and iPad run OS X right now, just a modified form.

    i have a 32GB iphone. i have only 80GB of music. if i listened to music on my iphone 24x7 it would take me weeks to listen to everything once. who cares about having access to your entire music collection if it's going to take you 5 years to listen to it?

    i don't even listen to full albums anymore. i have a bunch of smart playlists with different conditions and one with only my favorite songs from the entire collection. and my faves playlist is over 1000 songs and if i could i would cut it down to 100 or so to sync to my iphone but maybe in a future version of itunes.
