This above is the first glimpse of Android 4.0 running on the Nokia N9 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/NokiaN9/). Yes, it looks like Ice Cream Sandwich (http://www.engadget.com/tag/IceCreamSandwich/) is in being ported to the company's iconic handset (http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/26/the-engadget-interview-peter-skillman-talks-design/) by no other than Alexey Roslyakov and team NITDroid (http://www.engadget.com/tag/NITDroid/) -- the folks who previously put Android on the Nokia N900 (http://www.engadget.com/tag/NokiaN900/). The project, which is still in its early stages, made significant progress after recently overcoming a framebuffer driver/HAL hurdle, allowing ICS to be displayed on the phone. In addition, a dual-boot solution is in the works letting Meego (http://www.engadget.com/tag/Meego/)and Android 4.0 coexist on the device. We certainly can't wait to experience using Ice Cream Sandwich on some of the hottest white hardware (http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/08/white-nokia-n9-hands-on-behold-the-last-unicorn-video/)http://www.engadget.com/2012/02/10/nokia-n9-spotted-running-ice-cream-sandwich-dual-boot-in-the-wo/ around. Can you?
