If you are a diehard iPhone fan waiting for a special Android phone to be released before jumping ship, you could spend time lookin for a new HTC or Dell. Then again, the Droid you might be looking for could be closer than you think. An intrepid Linux fan and a member of The iPhone Dev-Team, planetbeing claims to have ported a debug version of Android to the iPhone itself, drivers and all, and you’ll find a convincing demonstration in this dual-booting Apple device taking calls, playing music, and even surfing the web. While the iPhone isn’t the speediest Google phone around, it’s not all that sluggish either, and with the iPhone’s hardware buttons remapped to Android controls, planetbeing seems to get along just fine. Check out the video below:
If you are interested in making your iPhone Android friendly, then download the "iDroid" files and give it your own whirl. Just remember, that although several things are fully functional, the project is considered to be at an alpha stage. The download includes all files needed to install Android OS on the iPhone, it even has a readme file that explains the process step by step.
