Hacker FINDS WAY INTO THE iPHONE INSTALLS GOOGLE'S ANDROID!

Hacker and programmer David Wang has at last done it. He has breached the closed source code on Apple's iPhone.  Wang has effectively booted the iphone with Google's Android.

This is quite an feat: booting Google's Android os on Apple's iPhone

Wang, full fledged member of the a unit referred to as "The Dev Team," that  is committed to hacking iPhones.  Just last week he posted a video revealing the Googles Androids on an iPhone.

The video displays the booting process complete with the Tux Linux mascot.  Furthermore it reveals Wang incorporating the Google Droid for surfing the internet, getting a text message, answering a phone call and playing music. Wang has the iPhone set up with a dual-boot configuration.  You can observe this as Wang begins the video with the iPhoine running on its OS.

Wang readily admits that his hack is not production-quality at this time.  He claims that the hack is still in its Alpha phase but he asserts that the whole thing works regarding functionality. 

Wang's Google Droid hack on the iPhone is quite a technological feat  Some argue it won't transform the industry nor the behavior of mainstream end users.  The one notable thing Wangs hack does demonstrate is that the iPhone can be hacked even with its grasp on the source code.

Wang remarks that he has been  working on his patch since 2008.  The video he employs to display his victorious hack is made with a first-generation iPhone.  Nonetheless, new iPhones are also prone to be breached by this hack.

Wang claims that it should be simple to port ahead to the iPhone 3G.  He readily admits that the 3GS will take extra work however.  Wang's wish is to make the Google Droid a viable alternative or supplement for the iPhone and perhaps we can at last include Flash.
