Indeed, it seems a good starting point. The main problem to this project is to have a compatible Android kernel running on Maemo. But it seems there is a big memory consumption, which will not be a problem with the Neo900. And it seems that with a more modern kernel it will be easier, kernel which

In this case it's not a smartphone with a physical keyboard but something like any other Android smartphones with an external keyboard. If I liked TOHKBD, I could also have bought this : http://www.mobilezap.com.au/45647-galaxy-s5-magnetic-bluetooth-qwerty-keyboard-case-black.htm with a Galaxy S5.

Or you could buy, you know, a Jolla phone *today* and https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2028347278/tohkbd-the-other-half-keyboard-for-your-jolla because there's no point in Jolla being as open as possible and then users not supporting the community that develops awesome things like that ^^^

I'm aware of this product, but I don't like how it is done. The main issue of this keyboard is that it masks the camera. So I can't take quickly a picture, I have to remove in first the keyboard. With this TOHKBD, we can't have an other one : it's either a keyboard or something else. So this smartp

Schifano: and what about Android apps on N900? There was a project, now dead, aiming to bring them to N900 via chroot (driven by lexik) but went not far from the theoretical stage. There are some clues though about the needed kernel modules and some posts about the partial progress. It's a good
