Install Android Froyo on your jailbroken iPhone 2G/3G/3Gs (Video)

Some developers have snuck in and created Steve Jobs worst nightmare... which is "Android 2.2 Froyo port for the iPhone". If you have a jailbroken iPhone 2G or 3G or even 3Gs you can install Bootlace 2.1 and run Froyo way earlier than some actual Android smartphones. You do not need a computer to do it either…

You have to keep in mind this is as unofficial as it gets and the Android port for the iPhone is not full baked either  there is no power management, for instance, so your battery will run flat pretty quickly. Marrying Android and the iPhone is not a new affair, but its only now that hard-working developers have come up with a an easy seamless way of installing it.

There is no good solution for some hardware incompatibilities namely the keys. Right now, the iPhone home key is mapped to Android menu key, the Power key serves as back, volume up is call key and volume down is the Home key.

Still, a well-designed Android launcher can take care of that problem. iDroid does not have access to the Android Market, but there are other ways to install apps.
