Title: Android on iPhone!
Post by: Silver Shadow on May 02, 2010, 01:59:12 pm

The person who was making a linux OS for the iPhone has managed to put Android on an iPhone 2G!
Link to blog, where you can download an alpha version:

Currently, this only works on the iPhone 2G but versions for the iPhone 3G and iPod Touch 1st gen will soon be available. And versions for the other iDevices (except the iPad) are in the works too.

Hmmm...this might make me get an iTouch, since the Pandora does not exist yet.

They're making huge progress on this, so I wouldn't be surprised if an iTouch version is released in the near future.

Android is open source, so Google won't care.
