Hi folks,

I saw this on The Register and I thought it was interesting (if not
amusing). It appears someone has managed to get Android dual booting
alongside the iPhone OS on an iPhone 2G (so an older version of the
iPhone, but still, it's an iPhone).

I wonder what Apple things about this? :-)

That's awesome! It almost makes me want an iPhone just to do this to
it. :D

Nah - Get a Nokia N900 - you get root access out of the box and it runs
Debian...

(And you can run MeeGo on it as well as Maemo, and multitask - iPhones
only just catching up :)

I'd agree with Gordon on that respect, considering an iPhone 2G is well, not 3G (a friend of mine has a 2G and says it's slow), I'd certainly rather have something like an N900. Of course if someone gave me an old iPhone 2G then I wouldn't say no, just to hack Android on to it (can't think of much other use, I know lots of people rave about the iPhone but well I just don't see it myself).
