[Guide] How to install the full Android Market on NitDroid

Thanks to the NitDroid project, Nokia Internet Tablets like the Nokia N900 are able to enjoy the Android experience without having to purchase an Android device. However since it is not officially supported by Google you won't have direct access to the Google apps or the full Android Market.

A detailed guide on how to enable the full Android Market access on your Nokia N900 or other NitDroid supported device follows:

Nokia N900 - Running four operating systems

The Nokia N900 is an amazing device. We know it is capable of dual booting either Meego or Android alongside it's resident Maemo OS.
The device features a 3.5 inch touchscreen display, 5 megapixel camera with dual-LED flash, 32GB of internal storage which can be expanded with microSD, a full QWERTY keyboard and is powered by a 600 MHz processor.

But we see it's limits tested with four operating systems running on the device: Maemo, Meego, Android and Kubuntu Mobile.

[Guide] How to install Android Gingerbread 2.3 on Nokia N900

Google released Android 2.3 alongside the Google Nexus S, which was the first device in the Android lineup to be treated to the new version of OS.  So it will come as a bit of a surprise that the Nokia N900 has already received Android Gingerbread through the NitDroid before most Android devices.

We have already seen Android 2.3 running on the N900 and now we get to try it on our devices

The full instructions of how to install Android 2.3 Gingerbread on your Nokia N900 follows

Meego Developer Edition for N900

Meego has been available for the Nokia N900 for some time now, but it hasn't been a version where users can use Meego on their N900 as a primary phone.

Fortunately a developer edition of Meego has been announced for the N900 allowing you to use the full functionality of your device.

Nokia N900 gets unofficial Android 2.3 port

The Nokia N900 is the company's current flagship which runs Maemo Linux. With a 3.5 inch display, 5 megapixel camera and 32 GB of internal storage it is almost unlimited in it's potential, with it's lack of app support from mainstream developers being it's only downfall.

The folks at NitDroid have managed to bridge this gap by bringing an unofficial version of Android 2.3 Gingerbread to the device, thus giving the N900 users a taste of all the Android goodies.

[Guide] How to install webOS games on Nokia N900

The Nokia N900 is the first and only device from the company to run Maemo 5. Since there aren't many devices running this OS you can understand why game developers wouldn't build games for the Maemo community. Nokia has since shifted it's focus towards Meego leaving Maemo users with very little.

At least until now. Since Maemo is a linux flavor much like WebOS which powers Palm devices, users have found a way to run unmodified Palm Games like Need for Speed Undercover and The Sims 3 on the N900.
