Hackers Get Android Running on Real Hardware

nerdyH writes "Google's Android stack for Linux phones has been successfully hacked onto several actual hardware devices, including Linux-based Sharp Zaurus PDAs and a high-end development board. Google's preview release of Android last fall included a software emulator based on Qemu, but you can't beat real target hardware when writing applications for devices, because emulators may not accurately reflect real-world performance. Plus, it appears that Android's modern UI could really breathe some new life into lots of Linux-friendly hardware with ARMv5TE or better cores."

love the product, hate the name

Every time I see some cool new announcement for Android I think we've got a cool new robotics development and then I realize it's just a cell phone. I bet they're going to come out with a new product called Flying Car and it'll just be an mp3 player.
