What it is

A short demo of Inferno, the Plan 9 descendant operating system, running on an Android phone as Hellaphone. It shows calls, SMS and data working. The video quality is rough because the camera was held in front of the screen.

Why Hacker News recommends it

Shared as a demo of a minimal Inferno-based phone OS and an unusual dumb-phone approach.
