Running the full version of Mac OS X 10.3 (PowerPC) on the Nokia N900 smartphone! Correct me if I'm wrong, but this makes the Nokia N900 the first mobile phone EVER to run the full version of Mac OS X!


I am using the PearPC emulator that I compiled for Maemo 5 in Scratchbox. As you can see, it is VERY slow - it took over 1,5 hours to reach the "About this mac" dialog screen. The video has been heavily clipped to remove the long periods of absolutely nothing seemingly happening - so keep your eye on the clock to keep your sense of time :)
Come visit my blog at http://www.tuug.fi/~toni/serendipity/ for more info about my emulation and N900 related hacks!

  • What's the point of running a desktop OS on a mobile device? Especially in emulated mode? It's more of a proof of concept than anything useful.
