He is booting a ported android kernel. it is not finish and therefore not fully funtional (calls and txt dont work) but feel free 2 try it out it cannot her ur phone. just go 2 the website in the description.

he is running winmo 6.1 (it may look different 2 you because he is using point ui as his homescreen)

dont know what people think is so special about andriod...ive played with my buddys G1 and it sucks IMO...

if you want to mimic Android... you can do it with point UI 2 and WAD2, ive seen plenty of android themes

Android is the new "thing" why not? Just wait till the Hero goes to Sprint and see how much uproar there will be.

android is a solid os and it allows customization... Its not as robust as wm nor does it have as much user support.. But its way faster and easier to use

I think the attraction of Android is that its a open-source mobile OS built on a Linux kernel. This means you can customize the hell out of the SOURCE CODE, which we cannot touch with Windows Mobile. What I don't understand is the WM users defending a proprietary closed-source OS over the opportunities and potential offered by something like Android. While WM is flexible and customizable, it doesn't come close to what can be done with an open-source OS.

IF only android would be fully functional on our phones.. I've been watching the progress for some time and it seems to be at a stand still. . I don't want to replace my OS with Android, but i'd certainly like the option to boot it up every now and then for something different.
