This is really pretty amazing. Nothing of this magnitude has happened in the iPhone/Mobile world since the iPhone was first jailbroken. This is the feat that was previously said would never be done. Why you’d want to run Android on your iPhone over on an native Android device is beyond me, but I guess being able to run both OSes on the same device is cool. I can only hope it will bring people to realize how awesome Android really is and create some converts. I’ll probably be trying to install this on an iPhone this weekend. Sweetness. This is really really exciting, in a totally geeked out way.
So yesterday I finally balls-ed-up and ungraded the firmware on my iPhone. I had it Jailbroken and Unlocked running firmware 1.0.2, but was too scared to try anything with the new 2.0.0 firmware. I’ve heard a lot about people bricking their phones (basically turning their iPhone into a paperweight), and have had a couple of scares unlocking mine. HOWEVER, I did a quick search and found the Pwnage app for Unlocking/Jailbreaking the iPhone. And I’ve gotta say, the fellas at iPhone Dev Team have totally outdone themselves. I’d be willing to bet that unlocking and jailbreaking the phone is easier than activating it with AT&T (blagh!) through iTunes. Walks you through the process very simply and pretty much does everything for you. It’s awesome. And the 2.0.0 firmware compared the 1.0.2? Holy, Shit. I just fell in love with my iPhone. Again.
Thank you iPhone Dev Team.
