Android first sprung up on the Nokia N810 internet tablet a few months back, however the install process was a little more challenging. Well as technology goes, things generally have a way of becoming easier with some time and that certainly applies to completing the Android installation process on the N810.

Now its as simple as three easy steps.

1. Download “android.img.bz2″ to the memory card in your tablet. That file can be found here or here.

2. Download and install the “android-installer.deb” file. That can be found here or here.

3. Reboot your N810.

Once the reboot is complete, you will have the ability to run and check out Android. The start up for Android can be found in the extra’s menu.

Almost makes me wish I had an N810 to check it out. That said, we have not tested this personally, so I would recommend any important files be backed up first, just in case.

  1. Installed android on my nokia n810 but it's pointless. the android image file is practically useless as the image did not contain android market necessary for installing programs. The only thing that you have on this image file is a map file with no maps installed, web browser that functions only if you have wireless connected before you run android (android is run on top of your system). and some other programs that I can't seem to get to work either. I would appreciate it if google would compile a feature filled android image or at least put android market on it so that we can install programs on the n810. thumbs down on this image file.
