google android
i know this is a stupid question, but if the dev team messes around with their devices just enough, might they get it to run google android?

the dev team is not trying to do that. I'm not saying it's impossible, but what's the point? iphone OS is superior anyway

I'm sure it is if someone looked into it more...
Planetbeing got linux onto the iPhone.
Don't think anyone's looking into Android though.I always feel sorry for the guy in the iPhone commercials. He always gets a call right in the middle of trying to do something

No. OSX IS superior so that would be ignorant. There's a point where opinion and fact collide - and fact stomps a mud hole in opinions azz and we've found the ripple in time tonight.

10-11-2009, 04:18 AM #10it does ;-) it's called iphone OS. it's not exactly the same as desktop-mac-os-X, but technically it IS mac os X ... and it is superior to android, but I mean some people might like android better, and I respect that Originally Posted by stonyboys
and @angie: yeah, linux is portable because it's open source. that's what I was saying. I think android isn't. like I said, I can't be 100% sure, but I guess that android is compiled for a specific hardware architecture, which would make it not runable on iphone

If you want Android get an Android device! They've finally got some devices coming out with competent hardware. (Moto Tao, Samsung-Sprint thing)

I wouldn't bet on on Android ever running natively on iHardware. Not that it's technically impossible, but I don't see "the point". Sure, the iPhone OS could use quite a lot of improvement but nothing to mandate such a radical approach.
