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."

  1. call me when apple approves it by StripedCow · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Even if you don't need to jailbreak the device to run it, Apple probably doesn't approve it and will block it in their upcoming firmware version, or in the next-generation iphones.

    Until apple shows serious intentions to lower their absurd level of control, I'm not going to buy an iphone, nor develop for it.

    Sigh, why can't hardware makers these days just do that: make hardware?
