My observations:

1. Bone stock vzw xv6900 (got it yesterday!)
2. Downloaded all the files on: http://it029000.massey.ac.nz/vogue/
3. Placed them on my SD card in a folder titled "android"
4. When opening haret.exe, and running default.txt...
"Error Failed to load ... initrd.gz"
5. Fix: Opened default.txt and moved the "#" from "intrid-android" to "intrid.gz"
(also changed username= my10digitnumber@vzw3g.com, password=vzw)
6. Ran haret.exe and run defalt.txt.
(did not need to "listen for network")
7. Penguin and boot script ran...
8. "Knight Rider" icon...
9. Android/Linux Homescreen up!
10. touch screen works nicely, maps and browser work with data connection.
11. Camera button loads keyboard. Seems to work ok.
12. up/down on d-pad work.
13. End Button exits apps.
14. Impressed with ease of navigation through menus and apps (for those that work)

Question: Now how the heck do I exit out of Android and back to Windows? I have pressed every button and resorted to pulling out my battery. Can't be great for my phone.

Kudos: Especially to Martin from Massey University Tech Page. I am really impressed with how fast Android is being developed. I just an enthusiast with minimal Linux knowledge. I have been using Ubuntu on my PC with great success, and I cannot wait to see the future of Linux on Mobile phones. Furthermore, I work for one of the major Wireless Carriers. Go open handset alliance! Keep up the good work guys!

The only way to exit from Android once it's overwrote your Windows Mobile OS in RAM, is a soft reset or battery pull.

Soft reset is easiest -- just poke the stylus in the reset hole.

i agree, it really is an incredible and fantastic thing that we/he have going here! i also am very surprised at how quickly he is able to pump out effective updates...

and for how to exit...just reset lol thats currently the only way.
