You know that N900 you keep around, just because. The one that’s been hacked so many times you call it “leatherface?” Well, it’s about to get a lot more flexible. Built upon the app quickening Dalvik Turbo , OHA member Myriad just announced Alien Dalvik with the promise of running “the majority” of unmodified Android apps on non-Android platforms “without compromising performance.” A bold claim, no doubt. Myriad will be backing this up at Mobile World Congress starting next week with plans to release it later this year on MeeGo. But why wait until then? You can see it demonstrated right now running on a Nokia N900 in the video after the break (it’s running Google Maps in the picture above).

LG’s G-Slate (to be known as the Optimus Pad outside the US) has made yet another appearance on Google’s video repository, this time giving us a whirl to show off its slender body and port and speaker arrangement. The integrated 3D cameras also get a demo, as you can see above, though we’re much more excited to be able to churn out 1080p video with this device thanks to the Tegra 2 SOC it’s built around. Its smartphone buddy the Optimus 2X delivered some very smooth output and we can’t see any reason why the G-Slate should do any worse. Make your way past the break for all the intimate video action.
