N9 multiboots Meego, Nemo and NITDroid

This is so cool.. N9, my most favorite smartphone can now boot Nemo and NITDroid along with the Meego Harmattan. N9 which has a pretty good hardware and excellent design gets Android 4.0.3 although in Alpha Release. Meego was awesome with the swipe interface and for many Android fans out there holding a N9 can now enjoy ICS on their N9. On the Alpha release, you can expect the following features from NITDroid:

- Dualboot kernel (without reflashing), ability to choose OS after power on.
- 3D drivers, OpenGL
- hwrotation (portrait mode only, accelerometer HAL doesn't work)
- Touchscreen (multitouch)
- hw buttons (volume, power)
-  ECI accessory (headset buttons)
- USB networking
- LCD off in sleep mode- alarm driver, RTC
- Mounting MyDocs as "SDCard" [realized; NOT FIXED, but HACK EXISTS]
- Basic video decoding (sw) and playback, youtube (choppy)
- Bbasic CellMo functionality: network registration, USSD, SMS, data (GPRS/EDGE/3G), signaling. 
  Actually, ofono/ofono-ril stack is used: all things that it able to do on the n900.- bluetooth (scanning, can 
  pair devices. I didn't test deeper).
- Charging (note: without any notification in UI)
- Sensors: accelerometer
- Audio: playback (audio routing to: loudspeaker, headset or earpiece)
- Lights HAL (lcd brightness)- root access (via adb shell; su/Superuser.apk)

 Michael Faro Tusino from myNokiaBlog claims the crown first to get all three OS on his N9. Cheers Michael.
