Can this run on an Audrino or PIC Processor?

(assuming it had access to lots of memory)

What I want to know is, do you get all the source or are there bits missing? Do you get the source code to the Java VM?

Personally, I just want to get it up and running on an HTC Apache that is using Verizon, or on my Samsung i760, also with Verizon. I’m seriously getting to the point where I loathe Windows Mobile.

I hope the first hacks are….

Disabling all of google’s DRM and remote control of the device. The Android is a cool thing until you read what they can do to control your phone. I hope that step 1 is a rogue firmware that disables all the crappy parts and turns it into what most of us want. a completely open phone that rocks.

@diy2345 You never list any of the sites you get your stories from. The editorial staff doesn’t read your site; it’s the easiest way to avoid intentionally duplicating it.

Yer seriously, google. Never ever use that weirdo with the ear ring again.

Looks like a dangle-berry.

I’m also hoping it will be ported to the iPhone, but i’m not sure to what extent we will need knowledge of the device.

I’d actually love it if someone made a nice way for it to run on an x86 PC, so i could build a carputer with it, i’m sure it would beat the tar out of other options. I’m sure i’m naive and there is already a simple way to run it on a PC, but short of emulation i don’t know a good way to just install it outright.

The thing I would like to know is why was it closed in the first place?
The whole project started the way all opensourced project start, it was announced really early. And a lot of things were known how it was conceived.

And after a while they just said that not all code is going to be available…

Hopefully someone brings it to Verizon’s Voyager, not sure if that’s possible with BREW.
