MOTOACTV Watch rooted to run Android Honeycomb [video]

25 December, 2011 Technology

 

There was a time when if something could stand still long enough someone would install Linux on it. The same is true for Android today. And so the latest gadget to get an Android port is the recently announced sports tracker, Motorola MOTOACTV.


Of course, there was only one way to find out so he installed a custom ROM on it by first rooting the Gingerbread OS. Honeycomb has its own on-screen controls, which should make up for the lack of the Home and Menu button on the device. He also managed to get applications working on it so you can play Angry Birds on it among others, as demonstrated in the video below. You will of course need fingers as thin as toothpicks to operate it properly but the performance is quite good, probably due to the low resolution display which would not tax the hardware much.
