Android Successfully Ported To The iPhone 3G
After demonstrating Android running on his iPhone 2G, Planetbeing has succeeded in porting Android OS to the iPhone 3G.
Here is some comments on the progress made to PCWorld.
-
We’ve also made several other improvements to the original port in this version. Along with many under-the-hood improvements and bug fixes, the Wi-Fi driver has been fleshed out with all the Android-specific extensions, making it more stable and reliable. We’ve also added an Android icon to the boot menu to make it more easily accessible..
Next up is audio support–we’ve already laid the groundwork for audio support on the 3G and gotten it working in our homemade bootloader, so support for audio in Linux/Android will be coming in a few days.
Also, look forward to improved power management and backlight control very soon. The hope is that you should soon be able to carry around your first-generation iPhone or iPhone 3G running Android and use it just as normally as you would any other Android phone.

Wonder if this would work with the 3gs

No planetbeing said that a port to the 3gs would be hard since it requires different code and all this other stuff.
