Android OSx86 and iPhone

I have successfully ported Android phone operating system to 32-bit
machines, with an ARM CISC ISA 32-bit processor, and instruction set. An iPhone 4
which uses the ARM Cortex processor an ARM Cortex have 32-bit machine instructions and
CISC architecture. That means through a jailbroken phone with SSH I can dig deep into the boot and firmware files, and kernel, and replace them with Android ramdisk, kernel, etc and boot signature, and bootloader, and reboot would run Android on iPhone. Usually a process like this requires OpeniBoot which hasn't been picked up or ported to the newest Base SDK of the iPhone 4, iPad 2, and newest iPods. Check out twitter for news about Bl00d_ic3's iOS 5 jailbreak which will have many options including to boot to Android OS. I'm working with him to implement the automated iDroid process to his jailbreak. Options include, "Boot Tethered", "Cydia" "Run Android" (my process and files) and many more. Check back for more updates on running Android on 32-bit machines and to come: iDevice!
