“Do you feel jealous of your Android-using friends? Are you sick
and tired of your iPhone’s locked up OS? Are you fearless enough to
install Android on the iPhone? If you answered yes to any of the
questions above, perhaps it’s about time to install Android on your
iPhone.

“David Wong (aka Planetbeing), the one who ported the Android
Operating System on the iPhone, has written a complete guide on
installing Android on the iPhone 2G and 3G models. Although the
step-by-step tutorial is very detailed and straightforward, you
should take into consideration that the hack may temporarily brick
your iPhone if not done properly. So it is not for the faint of
heart.

“As noted by Planetbeing, the hack is still a work in progress.
“Although this port does everything that you expect your smartphone
to be able to do, it isn’t usable for day-to-day activities just
yet”, he said.”
