Today I've read an article that every position of Rubik's Cube can be solved in twenty moves or less. See : http://www.cube20.org/

On youtube there is a video of an andriod phone controlling a Lego Mindstorm creature which can solve a Rubik cobe in a few seconds.

This would be a killer-app for the N900

EDIT:
Just found that a N95 can also do the trick :

So what is new? I had a friend in high-school 15 years ago that could do it in less than 5 minutes nearly automatically from any starting point, without any help of computers. Now that is bloody amazing!

I think the record is 20sec or so by human. When I was really into it I could do it in around a minute. Forgot most of the quick permutation solves now. Its pretty cool when everyone goes omg when you solve it!

the new bit is that its a PHONE doing it.

if someone posted that a phone had went out, secured a job, maintained employment long enough to buy a house a car and a dog would you be impressed then? i know loads of people who have done that but yet to see it from a phone.

ehhmm.. it's just a program. Give it the right variables and it will do pretty much everything you like. For me it is more amazing when a phone can dual as a remote control and such.

he asked whats new! personally i prefer it when they do stuff the creator never intended or imagined it'd be used for. okay so remote controls nice (when it works) but put an IR transmitter on the front of a portable programmable device and its the first thing that springs to mind!

we all know that a phone can or cant do that ..just think of the capacity of the phone..i mean any sort of phone maker.
question yourself that the phone' hardward can do it?
in the video, the android or n95 i think acting like an eye for the robotic machine..scan the image of the rubik and the robot do the rest of work.
i admir the work of who create the robot. that is first step fot future.
