Nokia N9 spotted running Ice Cream Sandwich, dual-boot in the works

[![Nokia N9 spotted running Ice Cream Sandwich, dual-boot in the works][1] ][2]

This above is the first glimpse of Android 4.0 running on the [Nokia N9][3]. Yes, it looks like [Ice Cream Sandwich][4] is in being ported to the [company's iconic handset][5] by no other than Alexey Roslyakov and team [NITDroid][6] -- the folks who previously put Android on the [Nokia N900][7]. 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][8] 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][9] around. Can you?
