Android on an iPhone

That's right. Apparently, they have managed to install Android on an iPhone 2G. Since this phone may not be specifically updated to iPhone OS 4, is an interesting way to experiment with this phone (which is 3 years!)

The interesting thing is that it has "dual boot", which basically allows us to launch the iPhone OS, Android or a reset of the phone.
No version available, or instructions to do so, but probably see them soon. So if you were giving up with the 2G iPhone, here's a fun project to experiment with this smartphone!
