Yeah keep us posted. Why not.. The more of anything the better when u want to waste some some on the train to &from work.

I got a 3G and like many am waiting for the 4G to upgrade. I thought I might get rid of the 3G then by selling it or whatever but it would be nice to have it run Android.
-
that's freaking cool
-
It's realy F#!! Cool !!
guy's u d man !!! -
Awesome I can't wait for it to go up for the 3gs! Gives me something to play with also try out the OS. Keep us updated on this awesome new topic so we can get as soon as possible.

It would be cool to have the Android OS to duel-boot on the iPhone. I like the idea of havin he best if both worlds!
-
SOOOO...I know this is a 'still being refined'' version, but will we have access to all the goodies normal android phone users will? The apps and such?
-
Also, will this WORK on AT&T?? Or will AT&T be able to ''see'' that I'm running Android on my iPhone??

here is image of idroid http://hotfile.com/dl/39247486/bcd0e6a/idroid-release-0.1.tar.bz.html
enjoy it!

LOL oh wow, ok. This is definitely not something you can just download and then install. Don't bother if you're not uber geek savvy.
-
I'm more looking forward to android slate os on the ipad. Then u can have the best of both worlds. That would make an awesome dual boot machine.
-
when can i get it
-
Dual-boot on an iPhone? Way cool!!!
@dwight...Who care's if you're first. Grow a brain pls.
-
So, who can explain how to do this in layman's terms? I've downloaded the file, but now what? The 'Readme' makes zero sense.
-
might be cool to try on my 3g before the next one comes out
-
Emailed the original poster, waiting patiently for help.

Good question about Tethered.
Can only assume that if you switch OS that you'll be stuck with your choice unless someone figures an untethered solution
I'd be happy with Android as an option though, time will tell though -
I'm pretty sure that by the time this is ready there will be an untethered solution for your phone. Just remember not to update again until either Geohot or the DevTeams has released an untethered break.
-
Good call, this would be an excellent alternative for the ipad. I was thinking that myself when I was watching the video.
-
Dude you are a fricking genius that is the **** and apple will just have to deal with it lololol
-
I think that's the reason why it'll take more work, the project is called openiboot, so i'd think it uses an iboot exploit. Although an iboot exploit for 3gs is found, they won't release it ill iPhone HD or4G, whatever you want to call it.

I hope your dog gets hit by a car asshole. I fucking hate "first" posts.
-
when is this coming out
-
Best news for a long time!
-
Cool... Now I can run Android on my 2G iPhone which is currently sitting in my drawer collecting dust... waiting for the good news dude.
-
Yes, if and when we get a step by step in plain english for the less 'geek' minded. I'm hoping this development makes it to the point where it's as easy as download the OS, make a few clicks and you're done. Similar to the Jailbreak software evolution.

An iphone with android! How about an HTC with an iphone firmware? I am dreaming of a HD2 with an OS3.13
-
Yeah I hate first posts too. Love to kill dwight.
-
that will be better thank iphone with android because the htc hd2 is more powerfull
that will be incredible to see. and htc with 1ghz processor 512 ram and 4 inch screen. suppeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrr
-
And lets not forget that you can get practically any subsidized phone (including an Android) for a lot less than an Iphone. Imagine how fast the price of an Iphone would drop if you could "easily" install ios on an android smart phone, keyword being easily. Thats what I'm waiting for!!!!!!! Still good job on android option.
