The N900 Hackathon continues! After Android and Windows 98, it’s now the Mac OS X 10.3 aka Panther, which has made an appearance on N900. Thanks to Finnish hacker Toni Nikkanen, who takes the distinction of successfully porting OS X on to a mobile device.
While there are plenty of Mac fans out there who would just love to have this OS on their mobile phones, the present port is of little to no practical use for an average user. But, that’s not gonna stop enterprising geeks from trying this hack, now does it? Before, you take the dive into the hack, do take a look at the demo video.
So, basically the port is made possible via PearPC -- a PowerPC emulator, which unfortunately takes like 2 hours to boot and cursor movement is sluggishly slow. But, hey its a desktop OS on a mobile device and its not tweaked yet. If you still fancy getting this hack on your N900, do take a look at Toni Nikkanen’s blog for more details on the hack.
