The Nokia N900 does not yet have official support for Java, but thanks to lcedtea6 and Microemulator applications we can run any Java application on our N900.
Installation:
- Download and install lcedtea6 from the Extras-Testing repository.
- Download Microemulator.
- Unzip microemulator as root in / opt /: unzip microemulator-2.0.4.zip-d / opt / microemulator /
- Execute it, type: java-jar / opt / microemu / microemulator.jar
- Go to options -> Select Device
- Select Resizable device and click OK
Now we can run Java applications on our N900

pls can anyone talk me how to install 2go on Nokia N900….
I am not able to follow the instructions (dont know how to unzip on my n900). Is there an youtube video showing this? Or some detail instructions? TY.
microemulator can you download normal with the program manager, so you don’t need x terminal.
Nice Post !
Works perfectly fine.
To all those complaining about the N900 and Nokia:
You guys should have informed yourselves better before buying the N900.
Your complaining is like buying a beetle and complaining that your fridge wouldn’t fit in the trunk.
The fact that you still think it’s a phone proofs that you didn’t do any homework before buying it. It is a MID (mobile Internet device) and it does fulfill 100% of the wishes that well informed buyers had when purchasing this.
1 last thought …. if so many users can do everything you not informed guys cannot do with the same device …. is it the fault of the device?
The N900 is like a women … not everyone is able to hit the right buttons.
I believe any one who bought N900 made the right choice.
The device is capable of doing all you want but take time to learn it. It is a scientific device.
