Android 3.0 Honeycomb ported to Google's own Nexus One
We're all giddy as school girls about Android's first official tablet release, 3.0 Honeycomb, but we're sure not so giddy about having to spend yet more money on more hardware. If only there was a way we could play with all the new hotness right now. Thankfully some clever people over at xda-developers have gotten their hands on the Android 3.0 SDK and done what every sane person would do; ported it right onto the trusty old Nexus One hardware.
Now before everyone rushes off to download the install files (available here by the way) it's worth bearing in mind a couple of things.
- First off, this is about as unofficial as it gets - there's no support from Google for any of this.
- Secondly, this isn't what we'd call a stable operating system. Currently somewhat important components such as WiFi and the accelerometer aren't quite working.
