Don't you just like it when I conjure up stories like these? Google Android running on a third-party device is a dream come true for plenty of people, we already know that Android runs on the Sharp Zaurus and the armadillo 500 and more.

The next big leap for Android was to run on the Nokia N810 Internet Tablet and guess what? It WORKS!!! elinux.org has a wiki page with a guide on how to install and run Android on a Nokia N810. The article assumes you are familiar with some basics of embedded ARM Linux. E.g. you should know how to use diff & patch, how to boot your embedded ARM SoC with a recent non-Android Linux, how to use a cross compiler etc.

Here are some proof of what I am saying
