How to Install Android on iPhone
Have an iPhone, but want to check out Android? Why not give it try? You can install it on a jailbroken iPhone as we did. Our little old iPhone 3G was able to meet the requirements, so most iPhone owners should be set. You may remember that we’ve seen Android run on an iPhone before, thanks to hacker David Wang.
The installation is very simple, and doesn’t even require a computer–just an iPhone jailbroken with Pwnage Tool, RedSn0w or BlackRa1n.
