Android marries iPhone! Well Kinda!

Article by on Thursday, 22 April 2010

So after much time off and only recently coming back into the iPhone world @planetbeing (David Wong) has released a video of Google’s Linux based Android OS running on a 2G iPhone.

During the video you can see that the major parts of the Android OS all work on the 2G iPhone, these include calls, messages, music and Internet.

The video shows Planetbeing first running the the Apple iPhone OS, then using OpeniBoot to boot the Android OS. Planetbeing then shows us the settings menu of Android and manually searching for music.

This is only working on the 2G iPhone at the moment but Planetbeing says that the porting to the 3G should not be to hard, but 3GS porting may take some work.

If you have a spare 2G iPhone lying around and fancy showing Google’s OS off on your phone then Planetbeing has posted a link to the files over on his blog.

I personally think that this is great and if I had a spare 2G lying around I would definitely go for it, just for the show off factor lol.

If you have any opinions on this hack please leave a comment below and let us know what you think.
