This article explains how to flash Nitdroid - the port of Google Android on Nokia Internet Tablet - on a N770 (or for the lazy ones watch the related video).

To work with real-time video one needs at least two things - direct access to bitmaps and fast way to get frames from a video camera. To achieve the first goal one needs to keep in mind that Bitmaps are located on a shared heap that needs to be locked before any direct access can safely take place.

Early in 2007, Nokia announced the Web Runtime (WRT) technology as one of the great news for the S60 platform. This technology will be available with all S60 3rd. Edition Feature Pack 2 devices and allows development of applications (called widgets) for S60 smartphones using standard Web technologies such as: XHTML, CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) and JavaScript, besides bringing cutting-edge Web 2.0 applications to your device with the use of AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript And XML).

In this article we'll introduce the Web Runtime technology, will show what's the importance of it for the quick and easy building of mobile applications, besides presenting the tools you'll need to develop widgets using WRT. We'll also build a simple example application to show you how the whole development cycle works.
