Owners of Nokia N900, originally based on Nokia's Maemo platform, will be able to dual boot their device into the MeeGo operating system with the next firmware update.
The Nokia N900 is somewhat of a testing platform for Nokia. It is the last smartphone running Maemo 5, which is to be replaced with MeeGo, a joint project between Nokia, Intel and the open source community. Although it was launched 10 months ago, its hardware is powerful even by today's standards, and it's nice to see Nokia give users a way to upgrade the device to a brand new operating system.
With that said, MeeGo is still in early stages of development, meaning that you can expect bugs and problems, some of which can be really nasty. As Nokia puts it, "If you start playing with call software under development, you need to watch after your phone bill."
