Mac OS X 10.3 on N900

http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/31/m...barely-usable/

Has anyone seen this yet? Someone actually got Mac OS 10.3 installed on the n900. However, it was super sluggish, not sure why would anyone wants to run OS 10 on the n900 tho. Btw, there's a video in the post as well.

Why always with the negative comments? Do you have a crystal ball to see the future? No!

This is my third year using Maemo. I've owned an N800 for a few years and have been happy with the OS updates that I got once an updated device showed up.

90 minutes boot time!? Did I read that somewhere about this?

That's incredible patience.

Mac OS X 10.3 on Nokia N900

Even though it might be too slow to be usable but it just add another feather to the N900 cap :)

As you can see in the video after the break, Toni's hack relies on PearPC -- a PowerPC emulator -- to install good ol' OS X 10.3 (Panther), but the mammoth sluggishness means it's far from usable. Still, if you can spare 90 minutes for each boot-up plus plenty more for the snail-paced cursor, then head to the source to learn from Herra Nikkanen.
