Good news for iPhone users who've been yearning to get their hands on an Android device (ie. ME) - Hackers have now come up with a way to dual boot Android's latest Froyo OS onto your iOS device (limited to certain devices only - not 3GS or iPhone 4 yet). You will have to jailbreak your phone, but thereafter, installing Froyo will be just like running an App! Simple. It's the marriage of both worlds - Apple brawn and Google brains. Sweet!
Time to get far away from iTunes!
Read the How-To here (@ Redmond Pie) via Engadget.
Potential problems:
1) Button shortage. The last time we saw an Android to iPhone port, the volume buttons were re-purposed to be the Call and Home buttons. Wonder if this remains the same.
2) Does it work fine? See this video to get an idea of how Froyo on iPhone works.
User thealtendorf says that the port is "not recommended for use in day to day, the camera does not work, it is still quite unstable, but with this update method is much easier."
