The Android port for the iPhone 3G that was shown on video 2 weeks ago is now available for download. If you are brave a enough you can try to install iDroid after downloading the 40Mb files and following the complex “how to install Android on the iPhone 3G” instruction located here.
Although this port does everything that you expect your smartphone to be able to do, it isn’t usable for day-to-day activities just yet–I haven’t implemented any power-management functions, so a fully charged iPhone running Android will last only an hour or so.
A few bugs and performance issues remain, too, so while the phone will be usable, it won’t be fast. If you do something unexpected (such as forcing the iPhone off), there is a small chance that you may end up restoring your device. However, it is impossible for any bugs to brick or disable your iPhone permanently.
