iPhone Now Runs Android

iPhone users and Android users can stop fighting--because now your iPhone can run Android (as if Steve Jobs didn't already have enough on his plate with the iPhone prototype leak). Yeah, you heard it right. iPhone Dev-team member Planetbeing (the same guy who ported the Linux 2.6 kernel to the iPhone in 2008) uploaded a video to YouTube that shows him successfully running Android on an iPhone 2G.

If you can make OS X run on a Windows netbook, it was just a matter of time before someone found a way to install Android on an iPhone. That day has come.

In the video planetbeing demonstrates that Android (which appears to be 1.6 or earlier based on the triangular Launcher icon) can boot, make phone calls, receive messages, WiFi, and it appears that several other features are also working. If you’re bored and feel like tinkering this weekend, you can download the system image and documentation.

Presumably, when Adobe gets around to releasing Flash 10.1 for Android, we will see Flash running on an iPhone after all - just not in a way that Apple approves of.
