The capabilities of the Nokia N900 appear to be limitless, as new footage of the smartphone running Google's Android platform alongside its native Maemo 5 operating system has emerged.

Since its release, the N900 has been received with growing respect amongst the mobile community, with its operating system surpassing expectations for user-friendliness and its hardware capable of turning its hand to seemingly anything that gets thrown at it.

With the open-source platform on board, people have begun to port games and software from a variety of origins, leading some to claim that the N900 is one of the most powerful smartphones on the market.

The fact that a hacker has been able to get Maemo and Android running on the same N900 is very impressive and a feat that no other mobile could perform.

The main issue is that relatively few N900 users would rather switch to Android given that Maemo is such a capable platform with which to work.
