Android Ported To iPhone

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the but-can-you-go-the-other-way dept.

anethema writes "iPhone hacker planetbeing, from the iPhone Dev Team, has successfully ported the Android OS over to the iPhone. He is doing it on a first-generation iPhone, but others may be possible. The port is pretty functional, with data, voice, and many apps working, although it is running a bit sluggish and buggy at the moment. There appears to be much work left."

      Now the developer needs to pretend to "lose" it in a bar so he can get endless free hype and advertising for his iPhone/Android marriage.

    Apple's low-cost hardware with its wide range of options and standard interfaces teamed up with Android's consistent, carefully designed user interface experience, dazzling speed and frugal memory use.

    Truly a marriage made in heaven.

      Tip to moderators. This is a joke. Not sure why this is modded insightful.

      From the /. FAQ: Note that being moderated Funny doesn't help your karma. You have to be smart, not just a smart-ass.
