Android ported to iPhone 3G
Posted May 7, 2010 at 7:43PM EST by David

Software hacker David Wang has managed to port Android to the iPhone once more! What all started as managing to run Linux with a minimal shell on our favorite iDevice ended up into a major project everybody wants a part of. Due to differences in hardware it seems that audio support was lost on the 3G iPhone port but all networking capability works.

All apps run if they don't necessarily rely audio capabilities (i.e they'll launch but won't output any audio). He states that text messaging and internet browsing works perfectly - even multitouch. If this isn't enough to convince you - then this video must speak volumes!

 

David Wang says that he'll release binaries soon enough so that everybody can try it out themselves. As for those who want to find out how he dual-booted his iPhone, you can look around for a copy of openiBoot and try dual booting yourselves.

 

More on this interesting development as it comes to us!

If he could get this running perfectly on all iPhones (audio, etc) then this could be a big hit

Article author here, actually that tweet was from when they got it running on the original 2G iPhone, not the 3G. There are quite some hardware differentiation between the two - this is actually pretty recent!

I can't wait for this to be fully usable, bugs free. However, we all know that Apple will put a stop to this (or should I say will try) as soon as it becomes more mainstream. Thanks for this article, I had no idea how far they have gone as I stopped following the dev for a while.

:D

Just get an android phone instead, This is just like giving an Xbox the same capabilities as a PS3 or Vice versa. Whats the point!?

wtf, what do you mean whats the point. you could then play halo on ps3s and play motorstorm and crysis and other games that are system exclusive with out having to fork out for another system.
you can just buy the games and there you go

I think he means that installing this gets rid of the iPhone OS, which sort of destroys the point of shelling out a load of cash on one in the first place.

Everything with iPhone is badly restricted but software on a JB iPhone is better than the Android so as a technical exercise it is good but it's still a step down, but stick the iPhone OS in a Android handset and that's a very different story, you could get the massive Appstore catalogue in a phone with decent hardware spec and not the crappiness of the iPhone hardware.
