You are probably aware of Nokia N900′s powerful capabilities. We’ve seen the hacker-friendly device running Duke Nukem 3D and Warcraft. Heck, we even have Nokia’s release inviting US tweekers and modders to do their best with the phone. On that note, we bring you the last cool “N900 thing” caught – this baby can dual-boot Maemo and Android. I’m not sure where’s a “useful angle” in the story – it’s more of a proof of concept. Anyway, here’s the clip demoing N900 as it starts Maemo and then Android. Enjoy!

He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application.
