Nokia N9 runs Ice Cream Sandwich in Android port

The handiwork of Alexey Roslyakov, the NITDroid project builds on earlier work porting Android to the Nokia N900, though there’s not yet a public release or guidance on how you can get your own N9 to dual-boot between the platforms.

Samsung to merge Bada with Tizen: the OS party just got a little freaky

While everyone was watching Windows Phone parting the iOS / Android curtains, no one noticed Bada and Tizen making cheeky eyes at each other.

It was rumored Samsung might open-source its featurephone OS, but according to Forbes, it’ll now fuse it with the Intel-backed Tizen project.

Tizen UI leaks (Samsung I9500)

A cluster of shots were shared with SamMobile, showing a UI that’s markedly similar to pre-ICS Android and even Samsung’s bada. That may be no coincidence, however, since Samsung is one of the leads in the Tizen project, and may be bringing the first Tizen-based device, the Samsung I9500, to market imminently.

Nokia N9 full battery test is ready, does quite decently [TEST]

The Nokia N9 battery went from 100% to 0% after 6 hours and 57 minutes of talk time over a 3G network. That’s actually quite close to the 7 hours promised by its manufacturer.

The second trial was web browsing. The MeeGo smartphone took 4 hours and 33 minutes of continuous web browsing over Wi-Fi to deplete its fully charged battery.

The N9 was capable of doing 8 hours and 40 minutes of non-stop SD Xvid video playback before it went through its battery.

That gives the Nokia N9 a final score of 39, meaning that the smartphone will need to be charged every 39 hours if you do 1 hour of each of the three activities described above. So reasonably heavy users should expect to get about a day and a half from the N9.
